IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUKDEV SINGH SIDHU, CASE NO. CV F 08-349 LJO GSA

Plaintiff, ORDER TO DISMISS AND CLOSE CASE

vs.

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, Secretary of 

Homeland Security, et al.

Defendants.

 /

On March 12, 2008, Plaintiff Sukdev Singh Sidhu (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint seeking a writ

of mandamus and declaratory judgment to compel Defendants to adjudicate Plaintiff’s naturalization 1

application. On April 9, 2008, this Court remanded this matter to the United States Citizenship and

Immigration Service (“USCIS”) to complete adjudication of Plaintiff’s naturalization application no later

than June 12, 2008. On April 22, 2008, Defendants filed a Notice of Administrative Adjudication,

demonstrating that, per the order of remand, USCIS completed adjudication of Plaintiff’s naturalization

application. Plaintiff has been scheduled for the May 12, 2008 naturalization oath ceremony. Because

Plaintiff received the relief sought, no case or controversy exists and this action is rendered moot.
