EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AMMAR MULA, 2:07-cv-0209-MCE- KJM

Plaintiff,

v. DEFENDANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION

FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME 

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, ET AL., TO ANSWER AND ORDER 

Defendants.

_________________________________/

Plaintiff has filed a complaint pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b) alleging that defendants have

failed to timely process his application for naturalization. Defendants respectfully inform the Court

that plaintiff Brar’s application is currently pending clearance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Since the filing of this lawsuit, an expedite request on the security check has been placed with the

FBI. Once the FBI has cleared the application, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

will resume the processing of the application in the most expedited manner possible.

Case 2:07-cv-00209-MCE -KJM Document 10 Filed 03/30/07 Page 1 of 2
Because plaintiff’s application is currently pending at the FBI, defendants request an 

extension of time in which to either file an answer to the complaint or a joint motion to dismiss the

case as moot. The typical time frame required by that agency for completion of the name and 

background check is 60 days from the date of the expedite request. Defendants therefore request an

extension until May 30, 2007. Counsel for plaintiff has indicated that she does not oppose this 

extension request.

Dated: March 29, 2007 Respectfully Submitted,
