__________________________________________)

Defendants have previously filed one stipulated extension request in this immigration

case in which plaintiffs challenge the delay in the adjudication of their naturalization

applications. Defendants respectfully inform the Court that the circumstances that necessitated

the first extension request—a pending background name check by the Federal Bureau of

Investigation—remain unchanged and as of the date of this filing, the name check remains on

Case 2:06-cv-02757-MCE -KJM Document 12 Filed 04/06/07 Page 1 of 2
expedited request but still pending with that agency. 

Because United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is unable to adjudicate the

applications without this name check from the FBI, the government requests a second 60-day

extension of time in which to either file an answer to the complaint or seek a stipulated resolution

with the plaintiffs.
