MEMORANDUM

J Jesus Gonzalez-Uribe, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings.

The agency determined that petitioner was removable under the aggravated felony ground of deportation, 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), based on his 1984 convictions for violating California Penal Code § 288(a). Subsequent to the agency’s decision in this case, we held in Ledezma-Galicia v. Holder, 636 F.3d 1059 (9th Cir. 2010), that 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) does not apply to convictions that occurred prior to November 18,1988. We therefore grant the petition for review and remand to the agency in light of Ledezmar-Galicia.

In light of our disposition, we need not address Gonzalez-Uribe’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
