ORDER

(JFEX3)

**E-Filed 04/01/2008**

NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

BO HU,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, Secretary of the

Department of Homeland Security; EMILIO T.

GONZALEZ, Director of the Citizenship and

Immigration Services; ROBERT MUELLER,

Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

 Defendants.

Case Number C 07-6163 JF (RS)

ORDER1

[re: docket no. 1]

On December 12, 2007, the Court entered an order to show cause why Plaintiff should

not be granted the relief he requested. Defendants’ response asserts the Court lacks subject

matter jurisdiction over this matter and requests dismissal, albeit not in a formal motion to

dismiss. Defendants’ jurisdictional argument appears to have been rejected by every court in this

district that has considered them, and this Court sees no basis to deviate from the considered

analysis in those decisions. See, Qui v. Chertoff, 2007 WL 1831130, *2 n.3 (N.D. Cal. June 25,

2007) (collecting cases from not less than ten judges in this district finding jurisdiction exists on

facts materially indistinguishable from the facts here). Accordingly, the Court will not invite

Defendants to make a motion to dismiss. It appears, however, that the issues raised in the

complaint likely are amenable to resolution on summary judgment. The parties are directed,

therefore, to file cross-motions for summary judgment as promptly as practicable.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
