File: A094 190 065 - Chalotte, NC Date:
SEP - 5

In re: JOSE GABRL MARTINEZ a.k.a. Jose Gabriel Melendez-Martinez
IN RMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
APPEAL
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: Mathew S. Quinn, Esquire
ON BEHALF OF DHS: Scott D. Criss
Assistant Chief Counsel
The respondent, a native and citizen of El Salvador, was ordered removed in absentia on
April 9, 2012. On June 29, 2012, the respondent fled a timely motion to reopen proceedings,
which the Immigration Judge denied on July 6, 2012. The respondent fled a timely appeal of
that decision. The record will be remanded.
Upon review we will remad this case to the Immigation Judge fr a new decision. It is
inappropriate to adopt the Depaent of Homeland Securtis opposition ad we need a fll
analysis and consideration of the totality of the circumstances regarding whether the respondent
has shown exceptional circumstances fr his failure to appea at the April 9, 2012, hearing. See
Matter of M-P-, 20 I&N Dec. 786 (BIA 1994); section 240(e)(l) of the Immigation ad
Nationality Act; 8 U.S.C. 1229a(e)(l) (defning exceptional circumstances); Matter of W-F-,
21 I&N Dec. 503, 509 (BIA 1996); see also, e.g. Kaweesa v. Gonales, (15 Cir. 2006)
Accordingly, we will retu the record to the Immigration Judge fr fher consideration of the
respondent's motion and the entry of a new decision.
ORDER: The record is reted to the Immigration Judge fr frther proceedings consistent
with the above opinion.
FOR THE BOAR
