Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Local Rule 16-2(d), Petitioner and 

Respondent hereby submit a Fourth Joint Case Management Statement and respectfully request 

that the Court modify the trial date and pre-trial schedule in this case (as laid out in the parties’

Third Joint Case Management Statement and [Proposed] Order, filed November 13, 2006). 

Specifically, after conferring with each other, the parties request that the Court re-set the 

December 8, 2006 hearing as a case management/pre-trial conference (or set such conference to 

take place on December 11, 2006), and set another date for the hearing either on January 5, 2007, 

or as soon as possible after that date. Also, as set out below, the parties also stipulate to a new 

schedule for briefing on the legal issues of this case and intend to file a new discovery and pretrial schedule at the next pre-trial conference. 

On November 22 2006, Respondent, United States & Citizenship Services, issued a 

Recommendation on Application for Naturalization, in which it found Petitioner ineligible for 

naturalization. The Recommendation is attached to this Statement as Exhibit A. That

recommendation includes reference to both factual and legal issues. The legal issues referenced 

in that recommendation had not previously been raised in this case. The parties believe that the 

Court would benefit from legal briefing from both sides addressing these issues before the 

evidentiary hearing. Thus, Respondent’s Recommendation changes the issues in dispute in this 

case and warrants additional pre-trial submissions. 

Therefore, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Local Rule 16-2(d), the parties 

respectfully request that the Court modify the discovery and trial schedule for this case. First, 

they request that the Court reset the trial date of December 8, 2006 as a pre-trial conference. 

Alternatively, they request that the Court set a new date for a pre-trial conference on December 

11, 2006. They also request that the Court set a new trial date of January 5, 2007, or at the 

Court’s next available date after January 5, 2007. See Local Rule 16-10(c). 

Second, they stipulate to the following schedule to submit briefs on points of law: 

Petitioner will submit a brief on or by December 4, 2006; Respondents will submit a response 

brief on or by December 11, 2006; and Petitioner will submit a reply brief on or by December 18, 

2006.

The parties intend to proceed with discovery in the form of depositions to take place the 

week of November 27, 2006. They stipulate that they may continue discovery until the new case 

management statement is filed, and the previously determined discovery and trial deadlines 

contained in the Third Joint Case Management Statement no longer apply.
