OPINION

BASTIAN, District Judge:

Sameh Hussein, a lawful permanent resident, appeals the district court’s denial of his naturalization application. After a bench trial, which followed a decision adverse to Hussein by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (US-CIS), the district court concluded that Hussein failed to satisfy his statutory burden of establishing good moral character, but in doing so it erred in its application of the relevant statutes and regulation. We vacate the district court’s order denying citizenship and remand for further proceedings.
