In re: WILSON EDUARDO PENA-YUNGASACA
APPEAL
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: Randy Feldman, Esquire
APPLICATION: Reopening
The respondent, a native and citizen of Ecuador, was ordered removed in absentia on
September 25, 2014. On October 20, 2014, the respondent filed a motion to reopen proceedings,
which an Immigration Judge denied on December 22, 2014. The respondent filed a timely
appeal of that decision. The appeal will be sustained, the Immigration Judge's order will be
vacated, proceedings will be reopened and the record will be remanded.
The Board reviews an Immigration Judge's findings of fact, including findings as to the
credibility of testimony, under the clearly erroneous standard. 8 C.F.R. I003.1(d)(3)(i), (ii) .
The Board reviews questions of law, discretion, and judgment and all other issues in appeals
from decisions of Immigration Judges de novo.
Upon de novo review of the record and in light of the totality of circumstances presented in
this case, we conclude that the respondent demonstrated that reopening is warranted. 1 See
sections 240(b)(5)(C)(i), (e)( l ) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.
1229a(b)(5)(C)(i), (e)(l). We will therefore sustain the respondent's appeal and remand the
record for further proceedings.
ORDER: The respondent's appeal is sustained, the in absentia order is vacated, proceedings
are reopened and the record is remanded to the' Immigration Judge for further proceedings and
for the entry of a new decision.2
respondent's sworn affidavit, his attendance at

Among other factors, we have considered
prior hearings, his diligence in pursuing his status, his filing of an application for withholding of
removal and that his nonappearance at his hearing was the result of an inadvertent mistake and
not an attempt to avoid proceedings.
2
We note that the Immigration Judge's form order adopting the opposition filed by the
Department of Homeland Security is not proper under the applicable regulations or our
precedents. See Matter ofA-P-, 22 l&N Dec. 468 (BIA 1999). In denying a motion to reopen,
an Immigration Judge must set forth in a separate decision the reasons for the denial.
