ORDER

The Government’s petition for rehearing is granted to the extent set forth following. We amend the Opinion filed July 3, 2001, and appearing at page 998.

Add a footnote at p. 1003 at the end of the last sentence before section “a.” (“Such a requirement is an untenable interpretation of the exception.”):

“The government in its petition for rehearing before the panel states ‘[W]e do not seek to disturb the relief that this court awarded to petitioners, nor do we seek to disturb the essential judicial underpinnings for that relief (supra note 3).’ Petition For Rehearing at 7. It requests simply that we not hold that the BIA has changed its interpretation of 8 C.F.R. § 208.13(b)(i)(ii) (1999) to require that ongoing disability be shown. Rather, the BIA continues to see it as a factor to be considered as part of the totality of the circumstances and simply should have granted relief in this case after reviewing all the factors. We accept the government’s view that the BIA did not interpret the regulation to require ongoing disability.”

Add a footnote to p. 1019 of Judge O’Seannlain’s dissent, at the end of the sentence beginning “Rather than establishing ... ,” as follows:

“Indeed, the government states precisely this view in its petition for rehearing, as the majority acknowledges. Maj. op. at n. 3.”

*1149 No further petition for rehearing will be entertained.
