PRESENT: JON O. NEWMAN, JOSÉ A. CABRANES, PETER W. HALL, Circuit Judges, MUHAMED AHMED HIRSI, Petitioner, 17-3981-ag v. WILLIAM P. BARR, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. FOR PETITIONER: Theodore V.H. Mayer, Gregory Charles Farrell, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, New York, NY. FOR RESPONDENT: Juria L. Jones, Trial Attorney, Keith I. McManus, Assistant Director, Office of Immigration Litigation, Joseph H. Hunt, Assistant Attorney General, Civil 1 Division, United States Department of Justice, Washington, DC. Appeal from a November 20, 2017 order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Joint Stipulation and Request for Remand be GRANTED, and the cause REMANDED to the Board of Immigration Appeals for further proceedings consistent with this order.
