OPINION

PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Abdul Mazeed Abdul Razack seeks
review of the orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("Board"):
(1) denying Razack's request for a stay of deportation (No. 99-2362);
and (2) denying Razack's motion to remand as untimely (No. 00-
1063).

Our review of the record discloses that the Board did not abuse its
discretion in treating Razack's motion to remand as a motion to
reopen. See Matter of Coelho, 20 I. & N. Dec. 464, 471 (BIA 1992).
Further, we find that the Board properly denied Razack's motion as
untimely. See 8 C.F.R. § 3.2(c)(2) (2000). Accordingly, we affirm in
No. 00-1063 on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Abdul Mazeed
Abdul Razack, No. A72-370-521 (BIA Dec. 15, 1999).

We decline to address Razack's challenge to the Board's denial of
his motion for stay of deportation because judicial review is available
only as to a final order of removal. See 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(a) (West
1999); see Gottesman v. INS, 
33 F.3d 383
, 386 (4th Cir. 1994).
Because the denial of a motion for a stay of deportation is not a final
order of removal, we dismiss No. 99-2362 for lack of jurisdiction.

                    2
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.

No. 99-2362 - DISMISSED

No. 00-1063 - AFFIRMED
