STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING

SCHEDULE AND HEARING DATE;

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

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

attorneys of record, hereby stipulate, subject to approval of the Court, to a 30-day extension of the

briefing schedule and hearing date in this case, based on the following:

1. The plaintiff filed an application for naturalization with the United States Citizenship and

Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 28, 2005.

2. As part of its processing of the naturalization application, the USCIS asked the FBI to

conduct a name check of the plaintiff.

3. The plaintiff was interviewed by the USCIS on his naturalization application on or about

August 2, 2005.

4. On March 2, 2007, the plaintiff filed an action under 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b), which provides

that if the USCIS has failed to make a determination on an individual’s application for

naturalization within 120 days after the date on which the applicant is examined, the applicant may

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

either determine the matter or remand the matter, with appropriate instructions, to the Service to

determine the matter.” 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b).

5. The USCIS asked the FBI to expedite the processing of the plaintiff’s name check on March

27, 2007.

6. The FBI completed the name check of the plaintiff today, October 25, 2007, and is

forwarding the name check result to USCIS.

7. Pursuant to the briefing schedule and hearing date currently in effect, the defendants’

motion to remand is due on October 26, 2007; the plaintiff’s opposition is due on November 9,

2007; the defendants’ reply is due on November 16, 2007; and the hearing is scheduled for

December 3, 2007.

8. In light of the fact that the FBI has now completed the plaintiff’s name check and the

possibility that this case may be moot within the next thirty days, the parties respectfully ask this

Court to extend the briefing schedule and hearing date in this matter, as follows:

Defendants’ Motion to Remand: November 30, 2007

Plaintiff’s Opposition: December 14, 2007

Defendants’ Reply: December 21, 2007

Hearing: January 7, 2008, at 2:00 p.m.
