1Opinion of the Court

GOULD, Circuit Judge.

Edgar Hernandez-Gil, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’s (“BIA’s”) decision summarily affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ’s”) denial of his application for cancellation of removal. Hernandez-Gil contends that the IJ erred in denying his motion for a continuance and violated his statutory right to counsel by proceeding with the merits hearing without his attorney being present. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1), and grant his petition for review. 1
