Hon. Jeremy Fogel/ Hon. Patricia V. Trumbull

The plaintiff, by and through his attorney of record, and defendants, by and through their attorneys of

record, hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the court, as follows:

1. The plaintiff, Tasawar Jalali, is a lawful permanent resident (A# 73 413 651) of the United States,

who filed an application for naturalization pursuant to Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) § 316, 8

U.S.C. § 1427, on July 11, 2003. 

2. The plaintiff was examined regarding that application by the defendants, Department of Homeland

the conclusion of the examination, he was given a form by USCIS stating that he had passed the tests of

English and U.S. history and government, but that a decision could not be made regarding his application.

To date, no decision has been made on the plaintiff’s application for U.S. citizenship. 

3. In response to the plaintiff’s inquiries regarding the status of his application, he has been told only

that his application is pending an FBI name check clearance. It appears that Mr. Jalali’s application for

naturalization would be approved, but for the pendency of the background check, and the potential impact

that check could have on the good moral character requirement of the application.

4. On December 5, 2005, the plaintiff filed an action under INA § 336(b), 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b), which

provides that if the defendants fail to make a determination regarding an application for naturalization

before the end of the 120-day period after the date on which the examination is conducted, the applicant

may apply to the United States District Court for a hearing on the matter, and that the District Court has

jurisdiction and may either determine the matter, or remand the matter, with appropriate instructions, to

the defendant to determine the matter.

5. The parties are scheduled to file a Case Management Statement on June 16, 2006. The parties are

scheduled for a Case Management Conference on June 23, 2006.

6. The parties have filed a Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference and the phone conference is

scheduled for June 20, 2006, at 2:00 p.m.

7. On June 16, 2006, counsel for the defendants informed counsel for the plaintiff that the defendants

are currently willing to commit to being ready to render a decision on the plaintiff’s application for

naturalization within sixty days. 

8. In light of the defendant’s representation that it will be ready to render a decision within sixty days

of today, the parties respectfully request that this Court modify the Case Schedule by moving the dates in

this case as follows:

Last day to file/serve Case Management Statement: August 16, 2006

Case Management Conference: August 25, 2006

The parties request that the scheduling of the ADR phone conference not be changed.
