*E-FILED 7/6/07*

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

YU YANG,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case Number C 06-07595 RS

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

DISMISS

On March 22, 2007, the Court issued an order deeming defendant’s response to the order

to show cause issued herein to be a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. The Court set a

briefing schedule and a hearing date, but for a period of time thereafter plaintiff could not be

contacted. The motion to dismiss was subsequently reset to be heard on July 11, 2007, and

plaintiff has filed written opposition. The Court finds this matter suitable for disposition without

oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1 (b). 

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 motion to dismiss is

DENIED.

 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.
