   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3281
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Wollman and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Since this court's decision in 
   Hernandez v. Holder, 606 F.3d 900 (8th Cir. 2010), the BIA has supplied a 
   useable standard for reviewing denials of motions for administrative 
   closure, and the court joins other circuits which have held that circuit 
   courts have jurisdiction to review the denials of motions for 
   administrative closure; the IJ did not abuse her discretion in denying 
   petitioner's motion for administrative closure; the BIA did not consider 
   petitioner's request that the Board exercise its independent authority to 
   grant administrative closure, and the matter is remanded for the Board to 
   consider whether petitioner's request warrants a favorable exercise of the 
   BIA's discretion.
