(4) On June 1, 2007, the plaintiff filed this action pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b), which

provides that if USCIS has not adjudicated a naturalization application within 120 days of

examining the applicant, the applicant may ask the District Court for a hearing on his or her

naturalization application. The District Court may then either hold an evidentiary hearing on the

naturalization application or remand to USCIS with appropriate instructions.

(5) On October 18, 2007, the parties filed a joint case management statement, which included

a proposed schedule on a motion to remand which the government intended to file.

(6) In light of the reasonable probability that this case may be resolved administratively within

the next 60 days, the parties jointly ask this Court to vacate the status conference, which is

currently scheduled for November 30, 2007, and to re-schedule the status conference for January

28, 2008.

(7) If this case is not resolved within the next 60 days, the parties will file a joint status report

seven days in advance of the status conference. In that joint status report, the parties will propose

a new schedule on any motion to remand to be filed by the government.
