Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 993 F.2d 884 (9th Cir. 1993) Submitted Jan. 11, 1993. *Decided May 10, 1993

Before: SCHROEDER and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges, and KING,**  District Judge.

MEMORANDUM*** 

Petitioner Jeronima Concepcion Rojas-Rodriguez seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") dismissal of her motion to reopen. As part of its reasons for denying petitioner's claim, the BIA took administrative notice that the Sandinistas no longer control the Nicaraguan government. For this reason, we reverse and remand for reconsideration in light of Castillo-Villagra v. I.N.S., 972 F.2d 1017 (9th Cir. 1992).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without argument pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 34(a) and Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4
