Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Martin Raya Reyes, Maria Isabel de Raya Reyes, and Juan Raya Tovar, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant the petition for review and remand.
The IJ declined to entertain petitioners' request to consider additional evidence in support of their cancellation of removal applications without the benefit of our decision in Fernandes v. Holder, 619 F.3d 1069, 1074 (9th Cir.2010) ("[T]he IJ's jurisdiction on remand from the BIA is limited only when the BIA expressly retains jurisdiction and qualifies or limits the scope of the remand to a specific purpose. An articulated purpose for the remand, without any express limit on scope, is not sufficient to limit the remand such that it forecloses consideration of other new claims or motions that the IJ deems appropriate or that are presented in accordance with relevant regulations."). See also Matter of M-D-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 138, 141—42 (BIA 2007) (an IJ has authority to consider additional evidence on remand "if it is material, was not previously available, and could not have been discovered or presented at the former hearing"). ' We therefore remand to allow the agency to reconsider petitioners' request to present additional evidence in light of the intervening case law.
In light of our disposition, we do not address petitioners' remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
