PER CURIAM
Jeromi Bazuaye appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey, denying his motions for a temporary restraining order barring his
removal and for release pending appeal. In his motions, Bazuaye sought an order
granting a stay of his removal pursuant to the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
(BIA), and sought to be released from immigration custody pending appeal. As the
District Court noted in its opinion, at the time Bazuaye filed his motions, this Court had
already transferred Bazuaye’s petition for review of the BIA’s order to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. As venue was no longer proper in this circuit,
the District Court properly denied his motions.
The District Court’s order will be affirmed.
