MEMORANDUM **

Manjit Kaur, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s order denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings held in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Celis-Castellano v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 888, 890 (9th Cir. 2002), we grant the petition for review.

The agency abused its discretion when it concluded that Kaur did not show exceptional circumstances for her absence from her hearing because the medical documentation Kaur’s attorney presented at the scheduled hearing indicated that Kaur was unable to attend the hearing due to her medical condition. Cfi Celis-Castellano, 298 F.3d at 890-92 (in which alien made no showing of the seriousness of his alleged asthma attack, did not notify the immigration court that he would be absent, and did not seek medical attention until two weeks after the date of the missed hearing).

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
