ORDER

By order filed on March 11, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth

Circuit transferred consolidated petitions for review in circuit case numbers 07-73791 and

08-70632 to this court for a de novo hearing and decision regarding the nationality of the

petitioner. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(5)(B), we processed the case as though it had

been brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2201, and set the matter for trial on June 16, 2009. On the

day on which the proposed pretrial order was due to be lodged, the parties filed a “Joint

Stipulation” (doc. 67) and a “Joint Motion for Declaratory Judgment” (doc. 68) in which the

United States has conceded the citizenship of the petitioner. The United States states that it

will issue a certificate of citizenship to the petitioner and asks the court to enter judgment

declaring him to be a citizen of the United States. Joint Motion for Declaratory Judgment

at 2. (Doc. 68).
