Luna-Trujillo v. Ashcroft

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit January 10, 2005

Luna-Trujillo v. Ashcroft, 119 F. App'x 147 (9th Cir. 2005)

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Luna-Trujillo petitions for review of the government’s decision to reinstate his pri- or order of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(5). We have jurisdiction to review Luna-Trujillo’s petition under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a). See Castro-Cortez v. INS, 239 F.3d 1037, 1043-44 (9th Cir. 2001). The procedures under which Luna-Trujillo’s prior order of removal was reinstated violate the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(a). See Morales-Izquierdo v. Ashcroft, 388 F.3d 1299, 1300 (9th Cir. 2004). Therefore, we grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings.

PETITION GRANTED; REMANDED.
