No. 98-70663.

213 F.3d 1050 (2000)

Balbir SINGH, Petitioner, v. IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, Respondent.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

May 25, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Maziar Mafi, Santa Ana, California, for the petitioner.

James A. Hunolt, Office of Immigration Litigation, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for the respondent.

Before: PREGERSON, FERGUSON, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.

WARDLAW, Circuit Judge:

Balbir Singh ("Singh") petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") decision dismissing his appeal from an Immigration Judge's denial of his motion to reopen deportation proceedings held in absentia. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a (1996).1 Because the BIA erred when it relied upon newly-created evidentiary standards in dismissing Singh's appeal, we grant the petition.
