MEMORANDUM **

Mario Orlando Goches-Montano, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider its underlying decision dismissing as untimely his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“U”) removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a). We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We grant the petition for review.

The BIA dismissed Goches-Montano’s appeal as untimely without the benefit of our decision in Irigoyen-Briones v. Holder, 644 F.3d 943, 948 (9th Cir. 2011), which held that the 30-day deadline for filing a notice of appeal with the BIA is not jurisdictional. We therefore remand for the BIA to reconsider whether, under the circumstances presented, it will hear the appeal from the IJ’s decision in this case. See INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002).

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
