Overview: Circuit court found that it had jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252 to review a denial by the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) of an alien's motion to reopen her removal proceeding. Further, a remand of the motion to the BIA was required as the BIA abused its discretion by denying the motion with untimeliness as the basis for the denial.
