JOSE MARTIN LIMON-ROBLES,                        No. 06-71175

  v.
                                                 MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted March 8, 2011 **

Before:        FARRIS, O’SCANNLAIN and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Jose Martin Limon-Robles, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order 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.

             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
      The agency determined that Limon-Robles was removable under the

aggravated felony ground of deportation, 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), based on

his 1987 conviction for violating Arizona Revised Statutes §§ 13-1405, 1401,

3821, 1001, 604.01, 702, 801 and 812. Subsequent to the agency’s decision in this

case, we held in Ledezma-Galicia v. Holder, Nos. 03-73648, 04-35048, 2010 WL
5174979 (9th Cir. Dec. 22, 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 Ledezma-Galicia.

      In light of our disposition, we need not address Limon-Robles’ remaining

contentions.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.

BYBEE, Circuit Judge, concurring in the judgement:

      I reluctantly concur in the judgment. I continue to believe that Ledezma-

Galicia was wrongly decided. See Ledezma-Galicia v. Holder, ____ F.3d ___ (9th

Cir. Dec. 22, 2010) (Bybee, J., dissenting).
