application for naturalization within 120 days after the date on which the applicant is examined,

the applicant may apply to the United States District Court for a hearing on the matter, and the

District Court “may either determine the matter or remand the matter, with appropriate

instructions, to the Service to determine the matter.” 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b).

(4) On or about March 12, 2007, the USCIS issued a Notice of Intent to Terminate Asylum

Status, informing the plaintiff of the agency’s intent to terminate his asylum status based on

allegations of fraud and advising the plaintiff of his right to present evidence at a hearing to

establish that he is still eligible for asylum.

(5) On March 19, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation, asking this Court to place the instant

case in abeyance pending a decision by USCIS on whether to terminate the plaintiff’s asylee status

because if USCIS terminates the plaintiff’s asylee status, this case will be moot.

(6) On March 21, 2007, this Court signed the parties’ stipulation.

(7) The USCIS terminated the plaintiff’s asylum status effective June 14, 2007. A copy of the

termination notice is attached to this stipulation.

(8) In light of the fact that USCIS has terminated the plaintiff’s asylum status, the parties

agree that this Court should dismiss this case as moot.

(9) Each of the parties shall bear their own costs and fees.
