Hernandez-Padilla v. Holder

MEMORANDUM *

Petitioner Felipe de Jesus Hernandez-Padilla petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ denial of cancellation of removal. Because Petitioner’s case is in all relevant ways identical to the petitioner’s case in Nunez-Reyes v. Holder, 602 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir.2010), and in the petitioner’s case in Rice v. Holder, 597 F.3d 952 (9th Cir.2010), we grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings.

Petition GRANTED; case REMANDED.
