__________________________________________)

This is an immigration case in which plaintiff has filed to challenge U.S. Citizenship and

Immigration Services’ (CIS) failure to timely adjudicate her naturalization application and to seek

de novo review of this application. On February 24, 2008, the Court denied the government’s

motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and ordered the government to file an answer to the

complaint. In the interim, the Federal Bureau of Investigations completed the processing of the

background name check. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is now prepared to proceed

with the interview and adjudication of the application. Because of the jurisdictional posture of the

case, the agency cannot complete that process until the case is remanded with instructions to CIS.

8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). Accordingly, the parties jointly agree that the case should be remanded with

instructions to set the interview date and complete adjudication of the case within 45 days from the

date of the order of remand. In the event CIS fails to timely complete this adjudication, the parties

agree that jurisdiction will revert to this Court, and a scheduling conference will take place as soon
