Opinion
No. 05-3560-ag.
February 22, 2007.
Linda L. Foster, Queens Village, NY, for Petitioner.
Alice H. Martin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, Jenny L. Smith, Assistant United States Attorney, Birmingham, AL, for Respondent.
PRESENT: Hon. DENNIS JACOBS, Hon. PIERRE N. LEVAL and Hon. SONIA SOTOMAYOR, Circuit Judges.
ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the petition for rehearing is GRANTED and the cause REMANDED.
SUMMARY ORDER
In denying the petitioner's motion to reconsider, the Board of Immigration Appeals failed to consider one of the petitioner's arguments: that future imprisonment for fleeing conscription in the Yugoslavian army at a time when the army was committing human rights abuses constitutes persecution. The petition for rehearing is granted and the cause is remanded to the BIA for it to consider in the first instance this argument and any other question it considers appropriate.
