MEMORANDUM ***

Daw Naw, a native and citizen of Burma, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) summary affirmance without opinion of an Immigration Judge’s (IJ) denial of her applications for asylum and withholding of deportation.

*992 Because the BIA summarily affirmed the decision of the IJ, we review the IJ’s decision as if it were the decision of the BIA. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849 (9th Cir.2003). Naw challenges the decision on three grounds: (1) her due process rights were violated by the manner in which the IJ conducted the hearing; (2) the IJ erred in finding her not credible; and (3) the IJ erred in concluding that she had not established past persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution.

We review claims of due process violations in removal proceedings de novo, see Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir.2001), and we conclude that Naw, who appeared pro se, was denied a full and fair hearing under Jacinto v. INS, 208 F.3d 725 (9th Cir.2000). First, the IJ failed to explain either before or during the merits hearing the standards upon which Naw’s applications would be judged. The IJ also failed to instruct Naw regarding the burden of proof in the proceeding or what she could do to substantiate her claim. See Jacinto, 208 F.3d at 728 . Second, at the merits hearing the IJ conducted only a cursory examination of Naw and then turned the questioning over to the INS attorney. While Naw was given a limited opportunity to present her own affirmative testimony, the IJ did not explain that she could testify further, clarify or add to her answers, or offer additional evidence to substantiate her claim. Thus, the IJ failed her obligation to fully develop the record. See Jacinto, 208 F.3d at 733-34 .

The manner in which the IJ conducted the hearing contributed to the IJ’s adverse credibility finding because that finding was based in part on the IJ’s determinations that Naw was unresponsive and non-specific. The hearing also did not afford Naw a fair opportunity to establish eligibility for asylum. Because the IJ’s conduct “potentially ... affect [ed] the outcome of the proceedings,” Naw was prejudiced by the denial of a full and fair hearing and deprived of due process of law. Campos-Sanchez v. INS, 164 F.3d 448, 450 (9th Cir.1999) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Thus, Naw is entitled to a new hearing before an IJ. 1

We grant the petition, and remand to the BIA with instructions to remand for a new hearing before an IJ on Naw’s applications for asylum and withholding of removal.

PETITION GRANTED and REMANDED.
