Danny Lee JONES, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Charles L. RYAN, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 07-99000.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted Aug. 13, 2013.
    Filed May 5, 2014.
    Sylvia J. Lett, Esquire, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Leticia Marquez, Esquire, Assistant Federal Public Defender, FPDAZ-Federal Public Defender’s Office, Tucson, AZ, for Petitioner-Appellant.
    Jeffrey A. Zick, Esquire, Assistant Attorney General, Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Phoenix, AZ, for Respondent-Appellee.
    Before: REINHARDT, HAWKINS, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

We remand to the district court to consider, under Martinez v. Ryan, — U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 1309, 182 L.Ed.2d 272 (2012) and Dickens v. Ryan, 740 F.3d 1302 (9th Cir.2014) (en banc), Jones’s argument that his ineffective assistance of counsel claims are unexhausted, and therefore procedurally defaulted, and that deficient performance by his counsel during his post-conviction relief case in state court excuses the default.

We express no opinion on any other issue raised on appeal. Those issues are preserved for later consideration by the Court, if necessary.

REMANDED.
