I re: CUAUHTEMOC JESUS MORAES
IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
APPEAL
Decision of the Board of Imigation Appeals
Date: OCT 18 2012
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: Pablo E. Ferandez-Herrera, Esquire
ON BEHAF OF OHS: Joy Lampley
Assistant Chief Counsel
APPLICATION: Reopening
The respondent, a native and citizen of Mexico, was ordered removed in absentia on
Mach 8, 2011. On September 13, 2011, the respondent filed a motion to reopen procedings, which
the Immigation Judge denied on November 9, 2011. The respondent filed a timely appeal of that
decision. The appeal will be sustained, proceedings will be reopened ad the record will be
remanded.
Upon review, and in view of the particular circumstances presented in this case, including
the respondent's afdavit in which he stated that he was a victim of fraud by an immigation
consultant who advised him that he had "fxed" the problem and that he was not required to appear
for his March 8, 2011, hearing, we are persuaded that the respondent demonstrated exceptional
circumstances t excuse his filure to appea for his hearing. See Montano Cisneros v. US Attorey
Gen., 514 F.3d 1224 (I I t Cir 2008). Accordingly, we will allow the respondent aother opportunity
to appea fr a hearing.
ORDER: The appeal is sustained, proceedings are reopened and the reord is remanded to
the Immigation Judge for fther proceedings.
