Petition for review of the BIA's denial of a Pakistani petitioner's motion to reopen removal proceedings is granted and remanded where the BIA committed legal error in adopting an overly narrow interpretation of 8 C.F.R. section 1003.2(c)(3)(ii) that runs counter to the plain language of the regulation.
