Attorneys for Defendants 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JANE DOE, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

RENA BITTER, ET AL., 

 Defendants. 

CASE NO. 2:24-CV-02744-TLN-CKD 

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR FIRST 

EXTENSION OF TIME 

The Defendants respectfully request a first extension of time in which to respond to the 

Complaint, and counsel for Plaintiff does not oppose. This case concerns the visa application of 

Plaintiff’s spouse. The visa case was refused for administrative processing, following an October 2014 

consular interview. The State Department has now completed the administrative processing and 

requested additional documents from Plaintiff’s spouse and scheduled a new consular interview for him 

on January 30, 2025. The parties anticipate that this lawsuit will soon be rendered moot once the 

consular officer receives the updated documents from Plaintiff’s spouse and completes the adjudication.
