Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
After briefing was complete in this matter, the Supreme Court decided Negusie v. Holder, — U.S. —, 129 S.Ct. 1159, 173 L.Ed.2d 20 (2009). The Court remanded to the Board of Immigration Appeals the issue of whether there is a duress defense to the "persecutor bar" to asylum. Because Ru Lian's right to consideration for asylum may be impacted by Negusie, we GRANT the petition for review, VACATE the BIA's decision, and REMAND. The BIA should reconsider Ru Lian's claims in light of its eventual decision in Negusie and make such further disposition of the case as that determination requires.
Pursuant- to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
