On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 12, 2014**
Before: McKEOWN, WARDLAW, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

application for withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We grant the petition for review and remand.
In denying Munoz-Henriquez’s withholding of removal claim, the BIA
found Munoz-Henriquez failed to articulate a cognizable particular social group.
When the IJ and BIA issued their decisions in this case they did not have the
benefit of either this court’s decisions in Henriquez-Rivas v. Holder,
707 F.3d 1081
(9th Cir. 2013) (en banc), and Cordoba v. Holder,
726 F.3d 1106 (9th Cir. 2013),
or the BIA’s decisions in Matter of M-E-V-G-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 227 (BIA 2014),
and Matter of W-G-R-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 208 (BIA 2014). In light of these
intervening decisions, we grant Munoz-Henriquez’s petition for review and remand
for further proceedings consistent with this disposition. See INS v. Ventura,
537
U.S. 12, 16-18 (2002) (per curiam).
