BRENDA YANETH ZAVALA-LUGO, Petitioner, v. MATTHEW G. WHITAKER, Acting Attorney General, Respondent.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
Agency No. A200-806-579 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: RAWLINSON, CLIFTON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Brenda Yaneth Zavala-Lugo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant the petition for review.
The BIA did not have the benefit of Pereira v. Sessions, 138 S. Ct. 2105, 201 L. Ed. 2d 433 (2018), which held that a notice to appear that does not specify a time and date of hearing does not trigger the stop-time rule, when it denied cancellation of removal for failure to establish ten years of continuous physical presence. Thus, we remand for the BIA to consider continuous physical presence in light of Pereira.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
