                  ORDER AMENDING PUBLISHED OPINION

AMBRO, Circuit Judge

             IT IS NOW ORDERED that the published Opinion in the above case filed
August 12, 2005, be amended as follows:

             On page 7, replace the entire paragraph in the middle of the page beginning
“Because Paripovic’s deportation . . . (Sept. 30, 1996).”, with the following:

             At the time Paripovic’s petition for review (which relates to
             deportation proceedings begun prior to April 1, 1997) was
             filed, our jurisdiction arose from the former Immigration and
             Nationality Act (“INA”) § 106(a) and was governed by the
             “transitional rules” of § 309(c) of the Illegal Immigration
             Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Pub. L.
             No. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009 (Sept. 30, 1996). On May 11,
             2005, Congress enacted The REAL ID Act, which provides,
             inter alia, that a “petition for review filed under former
             section 106(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
             . . . shall be treated as if it had been filed as a petition for
             review under [8 U.S.C. § 1252], as amended by this section.”
             REAL ID Act § 106(d), 119 Stat. 310-311 (May 11, 2005).
             Thus, our jurisdiction now arises under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, as
             amended by The REAL ID Act. Cf. Elia v. Gonzales, __ F.3d
             __, 

at *3 (6th Cir. July 22, 2005).

                                         By the Court,


                                         /s/ Thomas L. Ambro, Circuit Judge
Dated: August 29, 2005
