MEMORANDUM **

Pervinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings conducted in absen-tia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant the petition for review and remand.

The BIA abused its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen where it relied on Singh’s failure to respond to attorney Dhariwal’s November 13, 2006, supplemental response to Singh’s allegation of ineffective assistance but the record demonstrates that the supplemental response was not served on Singh. See Singh v. I.N.S., 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”). We remand for the agency to provide Singh with an opportunity to respond to Dhariwal’s November 13, 2006, supplemental response.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
