Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 10, 2018**
Before: CANBY, W. FLETCHER, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Uriel Aguirre Guillen, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of
the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an

remand.
When the BIA determined that Aguirre Guillen had not established the
requisite 10 years of continuous physical presence for cancellation of removal, it
did not have the benefit of the Supreme Court’s decision in Pereira v. Sessions,
138 S. Ct. 2105 (2018), which held that a notice to appear that fails to designate the
specific time or place of an alien’s removal proceedings does not trigger the stop-
time rule ending the alien’s accrual of continuous presence. We thus grant the
petition for review, and remand to the agency for further proceedings consistent
with Pereira.
In light of our disposition, we do not reach Aguirre Guillen’s other
contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
