UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

A.M.Q.A, et al., 

Plaintiffs,

MONICA B. LUGO, et al.,

Case No. 1:20-cv-01556-JLT-EPG 

ORDER SETTING STATUS CONFERENCE 

Plaintiffs A.M.Q.A, R.M.Q.A., N.M.Q.A. (1), N.M.Q.A. (2), Muneera Nasr Ali 

Mohamed, and Nassar Ali Abdullah Mohamed (“Plaintiffs”) initiated this civil action on October 

30, 2020. (ECF No. 1). Plaintiffs were granted leave to file an amended complaint on August 11, 

2022. (ECF No. 60). Plaintiffs’ second amended complaint proceeds against Defendants Monica 

B. Lugo, USCIS Fresno Field Office, Kenneth Cuccinelli, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, Monica Toro, and Lynn Feldman (collectively “USCIS Defendants”) and Defendants 

Anthony J. Blinken, Karen Pizza, and U.S. Department of State (collectively “State Department 

Defendants”). (ECF No. 61). 

Because Defendants indicated their intention to file a motion to dismiss in response to 

Plaintiffs’ second amended complaint, the Court did not set a scheduling conference. (ECF No. 

60, p. 2). On September 2, 2022, USCIS Defendants filed an answer to the second amended 

complaint. (ECF No. 64). On October 21, 2022, State Department Defendants filed a motion to
