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.
