Michael Chertoff, et al. ) FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME IN

) WHICH TO FILE AN ANSWER 

) AND ORDER

Defendants. )

____________________________________)

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 13, 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 16, 2007.
