Case Number C 05-5123 JF (HRL)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On December 12, 2005, Plaintiff filed a complaint for a writ in the nature of mandamus,

seeking to compel Defendants from acting on a Refugee Asylee Relative Petition, or Form I-730,

that was approved on February 13, 2003 with respect to his wife and daughter. Following

approval of the Form I-730, Plaintiff’s wife and daughter were interviewed by Defendants in

Beijing, China, in February and March 2004. However, Defendants have failed to issue any

decision or travel documents with respect to Plaintiff’s wife and child, who remain in China

three years after approval of the Form I-730.

The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of Plaintiff’s complaint on counsel for

Defendants, the Office of the United States Attorney, Northern District of California and shall

serve a copy of this order on Plaintiff.
