Case No. C 07-00883 RS

ORDER

*E-FILED 7/23/07*

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

YUMIN LIU AND KEVIN T. DAI,

 Plaintiffs,

 v.

ALBERTO GONZALES, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case Number C 07-00883 RS

ORDER

On March 1, 2007, the Court entered an order to show cause why plaintiffs should not be

granted the relief they requested.1

 Defendants’ response asserts the Court lacks subject matter

jurisdiction over this matter and requests dismissal, albeit not in a formal motion to dismiss. 

Defendants’ jurisdictional arguments appear to have been rejected by every court in this district

that has considered them, and this Court sees no basis to deviate from the considered analysis in

those decisions. See, Qui v. Chertoff, 2007 WL 1831130, *2 n.3 (N.D. Cal. June 25, 2007)

(collecting cases from not less than ten judges in this district finding jurisdiction exists on facts

materially indistinguishable from the facts here). Accordingly, the Court will not invite

defendants to make a motion to dismiss. It appears, however, that the issues raised in the

complaint likely are amenable to resolution on summary judgment. The parties are directed,

therefore, to file cross-motions for summary judgment as promptly as practicable.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
