The following excerpt is from Amial-Clara v. U.S. I.N.S., 972 F.2d 1336 (9th Cir. 1992):
Amial has indicated that he intends to file a motion to reopen with the BIA. In exercise of our discretion, we stay the mandate for sixty days from the filing of this memorandum of disposition to allow Amial the opportunity to file a motion to reopen with the BIA. If such motion is filed, the mandate will be stayed for such further time as is necessary for the BIA's disposition of Amial's motion. See Roque-Carranza v. INS, 778 F.2d 1373, 1374 (9th Cir.1985). If Amial fails to file the motion within the 60-day period, the mandate will issue without further notice. 3
