Martinez v. Holder, 770 F.3d 825, 830 (9th Cir. 2014). We grant the petition for
review.
The agency denied Osegura’s application for adjustment of status,
concluding he was ineligible for having committed an aggravated felony crime of
violence as described in 18 U.S.C. § 16(b). However, the BIA did not have the
benefit of our decision in Dimaya v. Lynch, 803 F.3d 1110 (9th Cir. 2015), recently
affirmed by the Supreme Court decision in Sessions v. Dimaya, 138 S. Ct. 1204
(2018), holding that 18 U.S.C. § 16(b) is impermissibly vague. Accordingly, we
remand to the BIA to consider Osegura’s eligibility for relief in light of those
decisions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
