Respondent
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A014 707 441
Before KING, BENAVIDES, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Juan Cortinovis has filed in this court a petition for review of an order by
the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming an immigration judge’s (IJ)
denial of his application for cancellation of removal. After briefing in this case
was complete, Cortinovis submitted a letter pursuant to Federal Rule of
Appellate Procedure 28(j) notifying us of the United States Supreme Court’s
decision in Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, 130 S. Ct. 2577 (2010). Because the

Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.

No. 09-60737
Supreme Court’s holding in Carachuri-Rosendo rejected the same reasoning
used by the BIA in Cortinovis’s case, Cortinovis argues that the BIA’s decision
should be overturned, and that his case should be remanded to the BIA for
reconsideration of his application for cancellation of removal. The Respondent
concurs with Cortinovis’s request for a remand. Because the legal basis for the
BIA’s determination that Cortinovis was ineligible for cancellation of removal
was invalidated by the Supreme Court in Carachuri-Rosendo, we GRANT his
petition for review and REMAND this case to the BIA for further proceedings to
adjudicate his application for cancellation of removal. In light of the remand, we
decline to address the remaining issues raised in Cortinovis’s initial brief. We
also deny Cortinovis’s request to issue an order permitting him to reenter the
United States at this time.
