UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

This is an immigration case in which Plaintiff alleges that Defendants United States 

Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has failed to make a determination on her 

application for naturalization within 120 days as required by statute. 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). That 

statute provides that upon proper filing of a lawsuit, the Court may review the application de 

novo or remand the matter to the agency with instructions to adjudicate. The parties now 

stipulate to the latter, with instructions that USCIS adjudicate within 30 days from the date of 

the Court order.

In the event the adjudication is a denial of naturalization, the parties as well stipulate 

that jurisdiction will revert to this Court pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1421(c), following exhaustion 

of administrative remedies. The parties will promptly file a status report in such event.
