Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-2123 Doc: 12 Filed: 02/29/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Zhihua Yan, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, appeals the

district court’s order dismissing his petition for writ of mandamus seeking an order

directing Defendant to adjudicate his pending asylum application. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

Zhihua Yan v. Arlington Asylum Off. USCIS, No. 3:23-cv-00617-FDW-DCK (W.D.N.C.

Oct. 6, 2023). 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
