Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Oralia Munoz-Lechuga, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant and remand the petition for review.
Because the BIA failed to address the ineffective assistance of counsel claim raised by Munoz-Lechuga in her motion to accept her late-filed brief, we remand for the BIA to consider her claim in the first instance. See Singh v. Gonzales, 416 F.3d 1006, 1015 (9th Cir.2005).
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
