Arturo Landa-Romero v. Eric Holder, Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION APR 27 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ARTURO LANDA-ROMERO, No. 09-71884 Petitioner, Agency No. A096-061-878 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted April 5, 2011 ** Before: B. FLETCHER, CLIFTON, and BEA, Circuit Judges. Arturo Landa-Romero, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reissue its previous decision dismissing his appeal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Hernandez-Velasquez v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1073, 1077 (9th Cir. 2010). We grant the petition for review. The BIA abused its discretion in denying Landa-Romero’s motion to reissue where it failed to address Landa-Romero’s evidence that he did not receive the BIA’s August 21, 2008, order dismissing his appeal. See id. (BIA must consider the “weight and consequences” of petitioner’s evidence of non-receipt). PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED. 2 09-71884
