MEMORANDUM **

An immigration judge found Moisés Navarro-Soqui (“Navarro-Soqui”) removable as an aggravated felon due to his conviction under Cal.Penal Code § 288(c)(1) and ordered him removed to Mexico. The Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirmed the immigration judge and dismissed Navarro-Soqui’s appeal. Navarro-Soqui petitions this court for review. This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we grant the petition.

In determining whether a state criminal conviction constitutes an aggravated felony under federal law, this court applies the categorical approach set out in Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 599-602, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990). We recently held that Cal.Penal Code § 288(c)(1) is not a categorical match with the generic crime of sexual abuse of a minor. United States v. Castro, 607 F.3d 566 (9th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, Navarro-Soqui’s conviction under this statute is not an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43), and he is not removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii).

We GRANT the petition for review and REMAND to the BIA for further proceedings.
