government as one of the defendants in this action;

2. The Department of Homeland Security (herein “DHS”), one of the defendants named herein, has 

moved for an order dismissing this action on the grounds, among other arguments, that there is no 

statutory exception for permitting an action to be brought against an agency of the United States 

for the actions or omissions alleged;

3. Plaintiff asserts that the First Amended Complaint was properly brought, but based on the issues 

raised by DHS, Plaintiff has proposed that the motion brought by DHS be withdrawn, that Plaintiff 

be permitted to file and serve its Second Amended Complaint, naming the United States as a 

Defendant in this action and withdrawing the action as against DHS as a party defendant, and that 

all defendants retain all rights to assert any and all answers, defenses, denials, claims or cross 

complaints as would be permitted in filing a response to an original complaint.

4. The court may and shall issue an order permitting the filing of the Proposed Second Amended 

Complaint, in the form attached as Exhibit “1” and by this reference incorporated as though set 

forth at length herein.

I agree to all of the above.
