PER CURIAM Opinion; Concurrence by Judge GRABER.

2Per curiam

In Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 115 S.Ct. 1537, 131 L.Ed.2d 465 (1995), the Supreme Court held that the filing of a motion to reopen or reconsider before the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) does not toll the statutory time limit for filing a petition for review in the courts of appeals. Today, we hold that the reverse is also true: The filing of a petition for review in this court does not toll the statutory time limit for filing a motion to reopen before the BIA.
