IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUCIO MARIN JORDAN

Petitioner,

 v.

ALBERTO GONZALEZ, Attorney General

of the United States, et al.,

Respondents. /

No. C 07-3566 PJH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Lucio Marin-Jordan’s (“Petitioner”) Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed on July

10, 2007. The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus on the basis that on April 24, 2006, he

filed an application I-485 with the United States Department of Homeland Security’s

Citizenship and Immigration Service (the “Service”) based upon an I-130 filed on his behalf

by his spouse in 1997, but has not received any correspondence from the Service despite

his efforts to contact them. Petitioner claims that he has executed the requirements

necessary for adjudication of his requested adjustment of status application, that his

application was filed over a year ago, and that he has no other adequate remedy, and

therefore seeks a writ of mandamus compelling respondents to schedule him with a

decision within 30 days. 

Preliminarily, the court notes that, although a proof of service is attached to the filed

paper copy of the writ of mandamus, that proof of service is not dated, and petitioner has

not yet e-filed a copy with the court. Nor has petitioner e-filed a copy of the exhibits

attached to his petition. Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to e-file a dated proof of

service and the exhibits within 5 days of the date of this order. 

The court further ORDERS the government to show cause regarding why the court

should not remand the matter with instructions to the Service to determine the matter and

September 5, 2007. Plaintiff shall file and serve any reply to defendants’ opposition no

later than September 12, 2007. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
