No. 07-S-CV-2634 FCD EFB

JOINT STIPULATION RE: EXTENSION

OF TIME IN WHICH TO FILE

DEFENDANTS’ ANSWER AND ORDER

This is an immigration case in which plaintiff has challenged the delay in the adjudication of

his application for adjustment of status by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS). The

government respectfully informs the Court that the delay in the processing of Mr. SouthwellGray’s application is the Federal Bureau of Investigations background name check. It is

anticipated that once the background name check is complete, CIS will immediately conclude

the adjudication of the application. Accordingly, in the hopes that the name check will be

completed shortly, the parties stipulate to a 60-day extension of time in which to file the

government’s answer to the complaint, until April 11, 2008.

Dated: January 30, 2008
