JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER

This is an immigration case in which plaintiff alleges that defendants have delayed in the

adjudication of plaintiff’s Application for Naturalization, and seeks a de novo determination of

that Application pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). The United States Citizenship and Immigration

Services (“CIS”) wishes to re-interview plaintiff, and plaintiff has agreed to be re-interviewed.

Accordingly, the parties stipulate that the case be remanded with instructions to re-interview

plaintiff within 30 days from the date of the order of remand. 

The parties further stipulate that CIS may also adjudicate the application within a reasonable

time of the re-interview. Pursuant to this Court’s December 11, 2006, order, a pretrial

conference is scheduled for November 19, 2007. If CIS has adjudicated by November 19, 2007,
