APPLICATION: Termination

This matter was last before us on November 27, 2007, when we affirmed without opinion the Immigration Judge's July 27, 2007, decision finding the respondent removable under section 237(a)(2)(A)(iii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), and ordering him removed (BIA at 1 ). This case is presently before us pursuant to an order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which granted the respondent's petition for review and remanded to the Board for further proceedings. The record will be remanded to the Immigration Judge for further proceedings and the entry of a new decision. On October 26, 2012, the Ninth Circuit granted the respondent's petition for review, and remanded proceedings to the Board, instructing the Board to determine, in the first instance, whether the respondent's offense qualifies as an aggravated felony crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. 16(b). The order further instructed that we apply the Ninth Circuit's decisions in United States v. Aguila-Montes de Oca, 655 F.3d 915 (9th Cir. 2011) (en bane) (per curiam) and Young v. Holder, 691 F.3d 976 (9th Cir. 2012). Since the court's order, the United States Supreme Court has issued Descamps v. United States, --- U.S.---, 133 S.Ct. 2276 (2013), which abrogated United States
v.

Aguila-Montes de Oca, supra.

Due to the evolving legal standards,

and as final resolution of these issues may require fact-finding and the consideration of additional evidence, we will remand the record to the Immigration Judge to further address whether the respondent's conviction constitutes an aggravated felony under 18 U.S.C. 16(b) . In addition, on remand, the Immigration Judge may determine, in the first instance, whether the

respondenfs conviction renders him removable under the remaining charges in the Notice to Appear. Furthennore, both parties should be afforded the opportunity on remand to update the record if appropriate. Accordingly, the following order will be entered. ORDER: The record is remanded to the Immigration Court for further proceedings and for the entry of a new decision.
