1. On July 6, 2016, Plaintiff filed a complaint, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1421(c), seeking 

a de novo determination by this Court of her eligibility to naturalize. ECF No. 2. 

2. On July 7, 2016, the Clerk of Court issued for this case a “Procedural Order for 

Immigration Mandamus Cases.” ECF No. 4. The standard-form order provides an expedited 

schedule for the filing of motions for summary judgment, makes no allowance for discovery, 

and directs that no case management conference will be held, absent a request for a case 

management conference. Id.

3. Plaintiff does not seek an order in the nature of a writ of mandamus, and has not 

invoked the Mandamus Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1361. 

4. The parties agree that in this case, brought pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1421(c), inter 

alia, in which Plaintiff seeks a de novo determination by this Court of her eligibility for 

naturalization and in which she bears the burden to demonstrate her eligibility to naturalize, 

pretrial discovery is appropriate, and a trial on the merits may be necessary.

5. The parties, therefore, agree that this honorable Court should vacate the Procedural 

Order for Immigration Mandamus Cases, ECF No. 4, and schedule this case for a case 

management conference. In order to give the parties sufficient time in advance of the case 

management conference to confer and prepare a joint case management statement, the parties 

respectfully request the Court schedule the case management conference for October 11, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
