OPINION
PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:
Maria Edith Morales Apolinar (“Morales”) petitions for review of two decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”): one dismissing her appeal of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of cancellation of removal and rejecting her claim that James Robert Valinoti (“Valino-ti”) 1 provided ineffective assistance (No. 04-73484) and another denying her motion to reconsider its earlier decision (No. 04-75248). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant relief and remand for a merits hearing on Morales’s cancellation of removal application.
