OPINION*

PER CURIAM
Petitioner, Vamsidhar Reddy Vurimindi, is a native of India who became a lawful
permanent resident in 2008. In 2017, an Immigration Judge determined that he was
removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)(i) for having been convicted of a crime of
stalking. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) agreed, but, upon review, we

constitute binding precedent.

determined that Vurimindi’s offense of conviction does not qualify as a removable
offense. Vurimindi v. Att’y Gen., 46 F.4th 134, 148 (3d Cir. 2022). Accordingly, we
vacated the BIA’s orders affirming the removal order and remanded the matter to the
agency for further proceedings.
In February 2023, Vurimindi filed a second petition for a writ of mandamus in this
Court, again complaining that the BIA is “dilly-dallying” in granting his motion to
terminate. By order entered April 20, 2023, the BIA terminated the proceedings without
prejudice. Accordingly, we will dismiss the mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v.
Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698–99 (3d Cir. 1996) (“If developments occur
during the course of adjudication that eliminate a plaintiff’s personal stake in the outcome
of a suit or prevent a court from being able to grant the requested relief, the case must be
dismissed as moot.”).1
1 Vurimindi’s request to convert his mandamus petition to a petition for review and all
other requests for relief are denied.
