Dada v. Mukasey, No. 06-1181 (merits-stage amicus briefs supporting petitioner filed on November 13, 2007)

Questions Presented: Whether the filing of a motion to reopen removal proceedings automatically tolls the period within which an alien must depart the United States under an order granting voluntary departure.  And, whether an alien who has been granted voluntary departure and has filed a timely motion to reopen should be permitted to withdraw the request for voluntary departure prior to the expiration of the departure period.
