United States Ninth Circuit

In a petition for review of the BIA's denial of petitioner's motion to reopen, the petition is granted where the case presented "exceptional circumstances" within the meaning of the controlling statute, 8 U.S.C. section 1252b(f)(2), and thus a remand for the asylum hearing the court held that petitioner was entitled to in 2004 was warranted.
