Defendants, by undersigned counsel, respectfully move, for an

additional sixty (60) days to file the defendants’ response to

plaintiff’s complaint, to and including December 28, 2007. 

In his complaint, plaintiff alleges defendants have failed to

timely process his application for naturalization. Defendant, the

Citizenship and Immigration Service, has requested that defendant,

the Federal Bureau of Investigations, conduct an expedited name

check. Since an expedited name check may obviate the need for

further proceedings, defendants respectfully request an extension of

the time in which to file their response to the complaint. 

Defendants further request the deadline for filing a joint status

report be stayed until defendants’ file their response to the
