MEMORANDUM ***
Marta Reyes-Rodriguez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming without opinion an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her motion to reopen deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review questions of law de novo. See Lin v. Gonzales, 473 F.3d 979, 981 (9th Cir.2007). We grant the petition for review and remand.
The IJ erred in concluding that Reyes-Rodriguez was precluded from filing a motion to reopen deportation proceedings on the ground that she departed the United States after she was ordered deported in absentia. See id. at 982 (holding that 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1) does not preclude jurisdiction over motions to reopen filed by petitioners who had been lawfully deported after the completion of immigration proceedings and then reentered illegally).
Accordingly, we remand to the BIA with instructions to remand to the IJ for further proceedings consistent with this disposition.
In light of our decision, we do not address Reyes-Rodriguez’s remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
