MEMORANDUM **

Milton Lomeli-Capetillo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Medina-Lara v. Holder, 771 F.3d 1106, 1111 (9th Cir. 2014).

Under the modified categorical approach, the government has not met its burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that Lomeli-Capetillo was convicted of transportation of methamphetamine. See id. at 1113. The complaint charged Lomeli-Capetillo with six counts of misconduct. Reviewing the abstract of judgment, it seems that Lomeli-Capetillo pleaded guilty to only two of those counts. However, reviewing the record, it is unclear whether the counts of the complaint match the counts in the abstract of judgment. It is further unclear to which counts Lomeli-Capetillo pleaded guilty. See id. at 1114-15.

We therefore grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
