WHEREAS, Mr. Cruz filed his original petition for review of his naturalization

application on January 9, 2015 (ECF No. 1), and filed an amended petition on February 5, 2015 

(ECF No. 10, “Petition”);

WHEREAS, the United States Attorney was first served with the Petition and Summons

on February 13, 2015; accordingly, the current deadline under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2) for

USCIS to respond to the Petition is April 14, 2015;

WHEREAS, USCIS anticipates filing a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.

12(b)(6) in response to the Petition;

WHEREAS, counsel for USCIS has requested, and counsel for Mr. Cruz has agreed to,

additional time to file its response to the Petition so that undersigned counsel for USCIS may

coordinate with the agency to adequately prepare the arguments in support of its motion to

dismiss; and

WHEREAS, the Case Management Conference is currently scheduled for April 17, 2015, 

and the Parties’ Joint Case Management Statement is due on April 10, 2015, see ECF No. 11;

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that, if the Court approves, postponing the Case

Management Conference to allow the Parties to confer regarding case management after the

motion to dismiss has been filed, will likely result in a more efficient use of the Parties’ and the

Court’s resources;

The Parties respectfully request that the Court:

1. Extend the deadline for USCIS to respond to the Petition to May 18, 2015; and

2. Continue the Case Management Conference until May 29, 2015, or to another date

thereafter as is convenient for the Court, and continue the corresponding deadline for

the filing of a Joint Case Management Statement.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
