schedule in the above-entitled action, in light of the following:

1. The plaintiffs are natives and citizens of China who filed I-485 applications to adjust their

status to lawful permanent resident with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

(USCIS) on March 15, 2005.

2. The applications are pending with USCIS, pending the completion of a name check by the

STIPULATION TO MODIFY BRIEFING SCHEDULE

FBI of plaintiff Lan Yu.

3. On May 11, 2007, this Court denied the government’s motion to dismiss the action and set a

briefing schedule on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. In their motion for

summary judgment, the plaintiffs have set a hearing date for July 26, 2007, at 2:00 p.m.

4. In this Court’s May 11, 2007 minute order, this Court stated that counsel can stipulate to

continue the briefing schedule if the name check is expedited.

5. The USCIS has asked the FBI to expedite the name check for plaintiff Lan Yu (the name

check for plaintiff Keming Mu has already been completed).

6. The parties believe there is a significant possibility that this case will be moot in the

reasonably foreseeable future.

7. Accordingly, the parties stipulate that the defendants will file their opposition/cross-motion

for summary judgment on July 5, 2007, and the plaintiffs will file a reply on July 12, 2007. The

hearing date will remain for July 26, 2007.

8. The parties will file a stipulation to dismiss this action if and when the FBI completes the

name check and USCIS adjudicates the plaintiffs’ I-485 applications.
