Stipulation and Order 

 

1. In this civil action under 8 U.S.C. § 1421(c), Plaintiff challenges Defendants’

Form N-400. 

3. To prepare for further proceedings, Defendants submitted Plaintiff’s fingerprints and 

obtained a new response. 

4. That response indicated no information adverse to Plaintiff. 

5. Defendants have determined that there is no longer any obstacle to Plaintiff’s 

naturalization and stand ready to approve promptly Plaintiff’s Form N-400.
