Because the BIA failed to address the ineffective assistance of counsel claim
raised by Munoz-Lechuga in her motion to accept her late-filed brief, we remand
for the BIA to consider her claim in the first instance. See Singh v. Gonzales, 416
F.3d 1006, 1015 (9th Cir. 2005).
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
