STIPULATION TO HOLD CASE IN

ABEYANCE; ORDER THEREON

The petitioner, by and through his attorney of record, and respondents, by and through

their attorneys of record, hereby stipulate to hold the above-captioned case in abeyance

because, on April 22, 2005, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement

(formerly, the Immigration and Naturalization Service) filed a motion with the Board of

Immigration Appeals (BIA) to reopen the petitioner’s removal proceedings and to remand to

the Immigration Court in light of the fact that the petitioner’s January 15, 2002 conviction for

Receiving Stolen Property in violation of California Penal Code § 496 was recently vacated

on constitutional grounds. If the BIA reopens the petitioner’s removal proceedings and

remands to the Immigration Court, the claims raised in the petitioner’s Petition for Writ of

Habeas Corpus may be moot.

The parties will promptly notify this Court of the outcome of the United States

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s motion to reopen and remand and, if the matter is

reopened and remanded to the Immigration Court, of the outcome of those proceedings.

The respondents agree not to remove the petitioner from the United States until further

order of this Court.

Date: April 25, 2005 Respectfully submitted,
