ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

*E-FILED 1/22/07*

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

YU CHEN AND BIN ZHU,

 Plaintiffs,

 v.

ALBERTO GONZALES, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case Number C 07-00312 RS

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On January 17, 2007, plaintiffs Yu Chen and Bin Zhu, appearing through counsel, filed a

“Complaint For Mandamus” against defendant Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General of the

United State, and other government officials in their official capacities. Plaintiffs allege

defendants have failed to process their I-485 applications in a timely manner, apparently as a

result of delays in obtaining completed background check clearances from the Federal Bureau of

Investigation. Plaintiffs allege that, as a result, defendants have violated the Administrative

Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C § 701 et. seq. Plaintiffs request that this Court enter an order

compelling defendants to act upon their applications. Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

ORDERED as follows:

(1) The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of the complaint and a copy of this

Order upon counsel for Defendants, the Office of the United States Attorney. The Clerk of the

Court also shall serve a copy of this Order upon Plaintiffs’ counsel.

(2) Defendants shall, within sixty (60) days after receiving service of the complaint,

file and serve upon Plaintiffs an answer, showing cause why the relief prayed for should not be

granted. At the time the answer is filed, Defendants shall lodge with the Court all records

relevant to a determination of the issues presented by the complaint. If Defendants contend that

Plaintiffs have failed to exhaust administrative remedies as to any ground for relief asserted in

the complaint, Defendants shall specify what administrative remedy remains available to

Plaintiffs. If Defendants waive or concede the issue of exhaustion, Defendants shall so state in

their answer. 

(3) Plaintiffs may file a response to the matters raised in the answer within twenty

(20) days after receiving the answer. 

(4) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the matter will be deemed submitted upon

the filing of the response or upon the expiration of time to file a response.

 (5) No later than the time their respective responses hereunder are due, the parties

shall make their determination regarding the issue of consent to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate

Judge and file the appropriate form. In the event any party declines to consent to the jurisdiction

of the Magistrate Judge, this action will be reassigned to a District Judge for further proceedings.
