__________________________________________)

This is an immigration case in which plaintiffs have filed to challenge U.S. Citizenship and

Immigration Services’ (CIS) failure to timely adjudicate their naturalization applications and to seek

de novo review of those applications. The delay in the agency adjudication of the applications is in

the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI) processing of the background name checks. Upon

learning of this lawsuit, CIS requested expedited processing of those name checks from the FBI; the

name checks are expected to be completed within 45 days. Once the name checks are completed,

it is anticipated that this matter may be resolved at the agency level. 

Accordingly, the government respectfully requests an extension of time of 45 days in which

Case 1:06-cv-00161-AWI-DLB Document 14 Filed 04/19/06 Page 1 of 2
to file its answer to the complaint.

The parties therefore stipulate that the time for filing the government’s answer be extended

to May 30, 2006, and that all other proceedings in this matter be suspended until that time.
