MEMORANDUM
  
   **
  

  Angrej Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his motion to reopen exclusion proceedings. We dismiss the petition for review as moot.
 

  The BIA dismissed Singh’s appeal from the IJ’s order denying his June 23, 2009, motion to reopen on the ground that the motion should have been filed with the BIA in the first instance.
  
   See
  
  8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). We dismiss as moot Singh’s petition challenging the procedural dismissal because, in a subsequent order,
  
   1
  
  the BIA addressed the merits of the same claims.
 

  PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
