ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

              Respondent.

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

                       Argued and Submitted April 15, 2009
                            San Francisco, California

               The Honorable Eugene E. Siler, Senior Circuit Judge for the Sixth
Circuit, sitting by designation.
C.F.R. § 1003.38 is a claim-processing rule, not a jurisdictional limitation.

Irigoyen-Briones v. Holder, 07-71806, slip op. (9th Cir. 2011). We remand to the

agency to permit it fully to reconsider whether, under the circumstances presented,

it will hear the appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision in this case.

      The PETITION IS GRANTED, the Board’s decision VACATED, and the

case REMANDED.
