On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted October 29, 2012 ** Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and GOULD, Circuit Judges. Rene Dimas Salazar, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings conducted in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review * 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). for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir. 2008). Upon review of all of the circumstances in this case, we conclude that Salazar did not fail to appear for his August 2009 hearing. See id. at 774. We therefore grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings. PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED. 2 10-73265
