__________________________________________)

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 Hakimipour’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. 

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 June 6, 2007.
