Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Yuriy Sergeyevich Vedmetskiy, a native and citizen of
Russia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to consolidate
his appeal with his wife’s appeal of her removal order. * Because
the Board had already dismissed the wife’s appeal by the time it
adjudicated Vedmetskiy’s motion, we conclude that the Board did
not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to consolidate as
moot. We therefore deny the petition for review. See In re:
Vedmetskiy (B.I.A. Jan. 26, 2015).
Moreover, because we have also denied his wife’s petition
for review, see Chepurina v. Holder, 599 F. App’x 501 (4th Cir.
2015), we deny as moot Vedmetskiy’s request that we consolidate
their petitions on appeal. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before this court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
* Vedmetskiy only challenges this aspect of the Board’s
decision.
