MEMORANDUM***
Petitioner Jeronima Concepcion Rojas-Rodriguez seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") dismissal of her motion to reopen.   As part of its reasons for denying petitioner's claim, the BIA took administrative notice that the Sandinistas no longer control the Nicaraguan government.   For this reason, we reverse and remand for reconsideration in light of  Castillo-Villagra v. I.N.S., 972 F.2d 1017 (9th Cir.1992).
REVERSED and REMANDED.
