585 F. App'x 130

• Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
• Decided: November 3, 2014
• Docket: 14-1360
• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Fidel Angel Vasquez Gonzalez filed a petition in the district court for a writ of mandamus seeking an order compelling the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to adjudicate his Form N485 application for adjustment of status. The district court dismissed the petition against USCIS as moot based on its finding that USCIS lacked jurisdiction over the adjustment application and had already administratively closed and dismissed the application. On appeal, Vasquez Gonzalez challenges this finding. We have reviewed the administrative record and agree that USCIS does not have jurisdiction over the adjustment application. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the mandamus petition for the reasons stated by the district court. Gonzalez v. Mayorkas, No. 1:13-cv-01230-TSE-JFA, 2014 WL 585863 (E.D.Va. Feb. 12, 2014). 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.

AFFIRMED.
