[PROPOSED] ORDER

Date: June 13, 2007

Time: 10:30 a.m.

The parties to the above-entitled action hereby submit this status report and joint request to

extend the date of the case management conference in the above-entitled matter.

BACKGROUND

The plaintiff is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. He filed an application for

naturalization with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on September

27, 2002. The USCIS interviewed the plaintiff on his naturalization application on August 5,

2003. The USCIS has not yet adjudicated the plaintiff’s naturalization application.

The plaintiff filed a mandamus complaint on September 1, 2006, asking this Court to direct the

USCIS to adjudicate the plaintiff’s application for naturalization within 20 days. The defendants

filed and served an answer to the complaint on November 14, 2006. A case management

The case management conference was originally scheduled for December 1, 2006. In 1

light of the reasonable likelihood that this case could be administratively resolved within sixty

days, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the date of the case management conference, which

this Court granted. To date, the case has not been administratively resolved.

conference was held on March 7, 2007. At that time, this Court scheduled a further case 1

management conference for June 13, 2007, at 10:30 a.m.

STATUS REPORT

Counsel for the defendants, Assistant United States Attorney Edward A. Olsen, was informed

by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 9, 2007, that the FBI had completed the name

check for the plaintiff and that the name check result was being forwarded by the FBI to USCIS. 

As of June 6, 2007, USCIS – San Francisco had not yet received the name check result from the

FBI. Both USCIS and counsel for defendants are attempting to figure out why USCIS has not yet

received the name check, and anticipate that through their efforts the USCIS – San Francisco will

receive the name check result shortly.

JOINT REQUEST TO EXTEND THE DATE OF THE CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE

In light of the fact that the parties believe that USCIS will shortly have the name check result

from the FBI and that this case may soon be moot, the parties respectfully ask this Court to extend

the date of the case management conference by an additional 60 days. If the case does not become

moot, the parties will file a supplemental joint case management conference 7 days in advance of

the re-scheduled case management conference.
