Case No.: 5:13-cv-05231-HRL

STIPULATION FOR REMAND

Through this stipulation, Plaintiff’s counsel, Bernadette Connolly, and Defendants’

counsel, Anna Nelson, stipulate and request as follows: 

1. On November 8, 2013, Plaintiff filed with this Court an action under 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b), 

requesting that this Court compel the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(“USCIS”) to adjudicate and grant Plaintiff’s pending N-400 Application for Naturalization 

(“N-400 application”). 

1 On December 16, 2013, Jeh Johnson replaced the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, 

Rand Beers, and thus should be substituted for Mr. Beers as the proper defendant.

2. Within seven days of the Court’s remand of this matter, USCIS will approve Plaintiff’s 

pending N-400 application, and schedule her for a naturalization oath ceremony on January 10, 

2013. 

3. However, due to the expiration of Plaintiff’s biometrics requirements on January 19, 

2013, if USCIS is unable to adjudicate the application or Plaintiff is unable to attend the oath 

ceremony on January 10, 2013, then Plaintiff must attend a biometrics capture as directed by 

USCIS to allow USCIS to complete necessary and current background checks. 

4. If, for whatever reason, Plaintiff is not naturalized on January 10, 2013, and must 

provide updated biometrics, then USCIS will complete all necessary background checks within 

21 days of Plaintiff’s attendance at the biometrics appointment. Subsequently, and provided 

that the background checks do not disclose additional arrests or convictions, USCIS will grant 

Plaintiff’s N-400 application and schedule her for an oath ceremony within 14 days of the 

approval.

5. Both parties agree to bear their own costs and fees.

Respectfully submitted on December 23, 2013:
