In re: WILLIAM ARMANDO VALLE-MENDIETA
IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
APPEAL
Decision of the Board oflmmigation Appeals
Date:
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: Mary Faden, Esquire
APPLICATION: Reopening
The respondent, a native and citizen of Ecuador, appeals the decision of the Immigration
Judge, dated May 29, 2014, denying his motion to reopen.
The Immigration Judge's decision, which has been hand-written on the cover page of the
respondent's motion, does not meaningflly make any fndings of fct or law regarding the
merits of the respondent's claim. See Matter of M-P-, 20 I&N Dec. 786 (BIA 1994) (holding
that an Immigration Judge's decision must identif and flly explain the reasons for the denial of
a motion to reopen); see also Matter of S-H-, 23 I&N Dec. 462 (BIA 2002) (finding that, because
the Board's fct finding ability on appeal is limited, it is important for Immigration Judges to
include in their decisions clear and complete findings of fact that are supported by the record and
are in compliance with controlling law).
Accordingly, the record will be retued to the Immigration Judge for preparation of a fll
type-written decision that clearly articulates his rationale fr denying the respondent's motion.
Upon prepaation of the full decision, the Immigration Judge shall issue an order
administratively returing the record to the Board. The Immigration Judge shall serve the
administrative ret order on the respondent and the Department of Homeland Security. The
Board will thereafer give the parties an opportunity to submit brief in accordance with the
regulations. Accordingly, the following order shall be entered:
ORDER: The record is retured to the Immigration Judge fr frther action as required
above.1
1 The respondent remains subject to the Immigration Judge's order of removal, entered m
absentia on April 22, 2004.
