   MEMORANDUM

Luis Manuel Coelho, a native and citizen of Portugal, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order rejecting his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant the petition for review and remand.

The BIA rejected Coelho’s motion to reopen without the benefit of our decision in Reyes-Torres v. Holder, 645 F.3d 1073, 2011 WL 1312570 (9th Cir.2011) (mandate pending), in which we concluded that 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(d) did not apply to preclude a motion to reopen filed after the petitioner had been removed. See Reyes-Torres, 645 F.3d at 1075-78, 2011 WL 1312570, at *2-*3 (citing Coyt v. Holder, 593 F.3d 902 (9th Cir.2010)). We remand to the BIA in light of this intervening ease law.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
