ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted November 18, 2014**

Before:        LEAVY, FISHER, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Juan Pablo Londono-Gutierrez, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his

appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for

asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.

We grant the petition for review and remand.

      In denying Londono-Gutierrez’s asylum and withholding of removal claims,

the agency found Londono-Gutierrez failed to establish past persecution or a fear

of future persecution on account of a protected ground. When the IJ and BIA

issued their decisions in this case, they did not have the benefit of this court’s

decisions in Henriquez-Rivas v. Holder, 707 F.3d 1081 (9th Cir. 2013) (en banc),

Cordoba v. Holder, 726 F.3d 1106 (9th Cir. 2013), and Pirir-Boc v. Holder, 750
F.3d 1077 (9th Cir. 2014), or the BIA’s decisions in Matter of M-E-V-G-, 26 I. &

N. Dec. 227 (BIA 2014), and Matter of W-G-R-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 208 (BIA 2014).

Thus, we remand Londono-Gutierrez’s asylum and withholding of removal claims

to determine the impact, if any, of these decisions. See INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S.
12, 16-18 (2002) (per curiam).

      In light of this conclusion, we do not reach Londono-Gutierrez’s remaining

contentions regarding his asylum and withholding of removal claims at this time.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
