Defendants. ) ORDER

__________________________________________)

Plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging that defendants have failed to timely process her

application for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent resident. On December 4, 2007, the

parties stipulated to a three week extension of time in which to file defendants’ answer and

rescheduling of the scheduling conference. As of the date of filing of this second extension request,

administrative adjudication of petitioner’s application for adjustment of status has not been

completed, but the government is hopeful that a favorable resolution can be obtained within an

additional 60 days. 

For this reason, defendants request a second extension of time in which to either file an answer

to the complaint or other dispositive motion. Defendants expect this adjudication to be completed

within an additional 60 days, and therefore request an extension until February 21, 2007. Plaintiff’s

counsel consents to this motion. The parties also request that the scheduling conference, currently

set for January 22, 2008, be rescheduled to a date following the requested new answer date.
