Defendants. ) ORDER

__________________________________________)

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

application for naturalization, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). On March 23, 2007, defendants filed

an initial request for an extension of time in which to file an answer to the complaint, indicating that

while an expedite had been requested, plaintiff’s background name check remained pending with

the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As of the date of filing of this second request for an extension

of time in which to file an answer to the complaint, the background name check has not been

completed. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is prepared to complete adjudication of the

naturalization application promptly upon the return of the background name check, but is unable to

proceed without this security check. 8 C.F.R. § 335.1. 

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

to the complaint or a motion to remand to the agency with instructions to complete adjudication of

the application. Defendants expect this expedited security check to be completed within an

additional 60 days, and therefore request an extension until July 22, 2007.
