MEMORANDUM **

Aracely de la Luz Polanco-Chinchilla, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying her motion to reconsider the IJ’s order denying her motion to reopen to apply for suspension of deportation under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997 (“NACARA”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005), and we grant the petition for review and remand.

At the time the IJ concluded that petitioner’s motion to reopen was untimely she did not have the benefit of this court’s decision in Albillo-De Leon v. Gonzales, 410 F.3d 1090, 1098 (9th Cir. 2005), which holds that the September 11, 1998, deadline for filing for NACARA relief is subject to equitable tolling. We therefore remand, consistent with INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16-17, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002) (per curiam), so that the agency can determine whether or not equitable tolling is appropriate in this case. Because we remand on this threshold issue we do not consider petitioner’s contention that she is not barred, under Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777, 783-84 (9th Cir. 2003), from eligibility for NACARA benefits.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
