the petition for review.
The BIA did not have the benefit of Pereira v. Sessions, 138 S. Ct. 2105,
201 L. Ed. 2d 433 (2018), which held that a notice to appear that does not specify a
time and date of hearing does not trigger the stop-time rule, when it denied
cancellation of removal for failure to establish ten years of continuous physical
presence. Thus, we remand for the BIA to consider continuous physical presence
in light of Pereira.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
