PER CURIAM:

     Kaleab   Gebrewolde,    a     native        and   citizen      of     Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals   (“Board”)   dismissing    his      appeal    from    the       immigration

judge’s   order   finding   he   was       not   credible     and    denying    his

applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and withholding

of removal under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).                        The

Court grants the petition for review and remands to the Board

for reconsideration of Gebrewolde’s claims in light of Kourouma

v. Holder, 588 F.3d 234 (4th Cir. 2009).               We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                             PETITION GRANTED AND REMANDED

                                       2
