MEMORANDUM **

Daniel Rodriguez-Sanchez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“U”) decision denying his application for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Brezilien v. Holder, 569 F.3d 403, 411 (9th Cir. 2009). We grant the petition for review, and we remand.

In affirming the IJ’s denial of relief, the BIA did not address past persecution. See Brezilien, 569 F.3d at 412. Thus, we grant the petition for review and remand Rodriguez-Sanehez’s withholding of removal and CAT claims to the agency for further proceedings consistent with this disposition. See INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16-18, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002) (per curiam). In light of our disposition, we do not reach Rodriguez-Sanchez’s other contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
