Plaintiff failed to show that this Court has

subject matter jurisdiction because Defendants do not

have nondiscretionary duty to adjudicate Plaintiff’s

naturalization application in the manner requested by

Plaintiff. The remedies requested by Plaintiff are not

discrete agency actions that Defendants are required to

take.

Therefore, the Court lacks jurisdiction under the

Mandamus Act, Administrative Procedures Act, or any

other law.

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ Motion to

Dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 12(b)(1). The Court

DENIES as moot Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss under Fed.

R. Civ. Proc. 12(b)(6).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

 

 HONORABLE RONALD S.W. LEW

 Senior U.S. District Judge

DATE: February 26, 2008.
