STIPULATION TO EXTEND ANSWER

DEADLINE; AND ORDER

Plaintiffs, by and through their attorney of record, and Defendants, by and through their

attorneys of record, hereby stipulate, subject to approval of the Court, to extend the deadline for the

filing of an Answer by one week in light of the following:

1. Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in the above-entitled action on October 23, 2009, seeking an

Order compelling Defendants to complete processing of approved I-730 petitions filed by Oliver

Pace on behalf of his family members.

2. Pursuant to the Procedural Order for Immigration Mandamus Cases, Defendants’ Answer

was due on December 25, 2009, and Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment was due thirty days

thereafter.

3. On December 23, 2009, in light of the fact that the I-730 beneficiaries were recently

interviewed by the government on their request for travel documents to travel to the United States,

the parties stipulated to extend the deadline for Defendants’ Answer and for the Plaintiff’s Motion

for Summary Judgment by thirty days. In their stipulation, the parties agreed that if the case did

not become moot, Defendants would file and serve their Answer no later than January 22, 2010,

and Plaintiffs would file and serve their Motion for Summary Judgment no later than February 12,

2010.

4. This Court granted the parties’ stipulation on December 31, 2009.

5. Since the filing of the parties’ stipulation, the I-730 beneficiaries have received their travel

documents and are scheduled to arrive in the United States on January 22, 2010.

6. Defendants believe the case is now moot and Plaintiffs disagree. However, in light of the

fact that, in any event, Plaintiffs agree that this case will be moot if and when the I-730

beneficiaries arrive in the United States as expected on January 22, 2010, the parties stipulate to a

one-week extension of Defendants’ answer deadline. Defendants will file their answer on or before

January 29, 2010.
