MEMORANDUM **

Lydia Janeth Garcia-Herrera, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying her motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion, Barroso v. Gonzales, 429 F.3d 1195, 1200 (9th Cir. 2005), and we grant the petition for review.

Garcia-Herrera filed a timely motion to reopen within her voluntary departure period. The BIA denied the motion to reopen solely on the ground that Garcia-Herrera failed to depart within her voluntary departure period. This court recently held that a timely-filed motion to reopen automatically tolls the voluntary departure period. See id. at 1205. Accordingly, we *763grant the petition for review and remand for the BIA to consider the merits of Garcia-Herrera’s motion to reopen. See INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002) (per curiam).

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED.
