 The Honorable Franklin D. Burgess 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 

AT TACOMA 

CARLOS MARTINEZ JIMENEZ , 

Petitioner, 

v. 

MARIA GUADALUPE LOZA LOZANO, 

Respondent. 

CASE No. C05-5736 FDB 

STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: 

CONTINUANCE OF HEARING DATE 

This Court has emphasized its preference to hear Petitioner Carlos Martinez Jimenez’s 

testimony in person at the hearing on the Amended Petition for Return of Child to Petitioner 

[dkt #5] (the “Hearing”). Mr. Jimenez is a Mexican national and is in the process of securing a 

visa to enter the United States to attend that hearing in person. Despite the fact Mr. Jimenez’s 

began the visa application process the better part of a year ago and has made repeated requests 

for expedited processing, Mr. Jimenez’s visa application is still in the approval process, due to 

circumstances beyond Petitioner’s control, including the complex visa approval process, the 

finite resources of the governmental agencies involved, and atypical circumstances within those 

agencies that have anomalously strained their finite resources. Therefore, Mr. Jimenez and 

Respondent Maria Guadalupe Loza Lozano, through counsel, request a limited extension of the 

date for the Hearing, and hereby stipulate as follows:
