The Department ofomeand Scui (he H") timey moves the Board pursuant to 8 CF.R. 003 2 to reconsider our decision dated Octobr 9 201. In that decision, which we ishedas Matter ofRivens, 25 I&N Dec. 623 (BIA 20) we concldd, in pertinnt part at he HSore burden o estaishing e appicabiiy o on of the stautory provisions at would enabit to charge e respodent under e inadmissiiity rather tan e deportailiy oundsnowisanding his saus as a aw permanent rsident. Te HS changes ony is asect oou prior decision The DHS's motion wi be denied
