MANHATTAN: DEPORTATION FOR CLUB OWNER Peter Gatien, former owner of the nightclubs the Limelight and the Tunnel, has been ordered to leave the country. At a hearing on Wednesday, Judge Elizabeth Lamb of the Executive Office of Immigration Review, part of the Justice Department, ordered Mr. Gatien deported. Mr. Gatien, who pleaded guilty in 1999 to tax evasion, was born in Canada. He was ordered removed under a clause in immigration law that says any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony can be deported. His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, did not return repeated telephone calls. Mr. Gatien was acquitted in 1998 of charges that he turned his nightclubs into drug dens. But he and his wife pleaded guilty in January 1999 to state tax evasion charges. The clubs were sold in 2001.
