Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jesus Manuel Perez-Lizarraga, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' or der dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings.
The agency determined that petitioner was removable under the aggravated felony ground of deportation, 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), based on his 1970 conviction for violating California Penal Code § 220. Subsequent to the agency's decision in this case, we held in Ledezma-Galicia v. Holder, 686 F.3d 1059 (9th Cir.2010), that 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) does not apply to convictions that occurred prior to November 18, 1988. We therefore grant the petition for review and remand to the agency in light of Ledezmar-Galicia.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
