MEMORANDUM **

Jose de Jesus Avila Sandoval (“Avila”) petitions for review from the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying as untimely his motion to reopen removal proceedings. This Court previously instructed the BIA to consider whether Avila’s motion should be deemed timely based on equitable tolling of the filing period. The BIA abused its discretion by rejecting the application of equitable tolling without any supporting factual or legal analysis. See Movsisian v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1095, 1098 (9th Cir. 2005). On remand, the BIA shall, after considering arguments from the parties, reconsider whether Avila is entitled to equitable tolling and explain the reasons for its decision.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED AND REMANDED.
