November 24, 2025 Opinion or Order ORDER entered by Lara E. Montecalvo, Appellate Judge; Sandra L. Lynch, Appellate Judge and Julie Rikelman, Appellate Judge: Petitioners filed a motion seeking a stay of removal pending resolution of their petition for review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (the "BIA"). After filing the motion, four of five petitioners left the United States. Petitioners then filed a motion to amend the petition, wherein, inter alia, petitioner Kayo Felipe Costa Dondoni, who remains in the United States, indicated that he would abandon certain of his claims in the petition for review, focusing instead solely on challenging the BIA's denial of his motions to remand and sever. As to the four petitioners other than Kayo, the motion for a stay of removal is denied. As to Kayo, the motion is allowed, and his removal is stayed. If the petition for review is denied -- and absent further order of court prescribing a different result -- the stay of removal will expire when mandate issues. As to the other petitioners, the administrative stay entered pursuant to Local Rule 18.0, to the extent not rendered moot by their departure from the United States, is vacated.
