MEMORANDUM
** James Roales McDulley, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) denial of his motion to reopen his deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). See Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997). We review for an abuse of dis
*152 cretion. Watkins v. INS, 63 F.3d 844, 847 (9th Cir.1995). We grant the petition and remand.McDulley contends that the BIA did not consider evidence that was contained in his motion to reopen indicating that his attorney timely filed a change of address form, EOIR-27, with the BIA. The BIA denied McDulley’s motion to reopen after finding that there was no change of address form contained in the record. The decision of the BIA does not indicate that it considered the change of address form submitted with McDulley’s motion to reopen. See id. at 848M:9 (holding that the BIA must consider all relevant evidence submitted with a motion to reopen). Therefore, we remand for the BIA to consider the form that was tendered by McDulley.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
