No. 2:10-cv-3297 MCE EFB
JOINT STATUS REPORT

15
16

This is an immigration case in which petitioner challenges the decision of U.S. Citizenship

17

and Immigration Services (CIS) to deny a waiver of grounds of inadmissibility pursuant to 8

18

U.S.C. § 1882(a)(6)(C)(I), the denial of her Application By Refugee For Waiver of Grounds of

19

Excludability, and her application for adjustment of status by CIS. The parties now request that
the case be held in abeyance, as CIS is reopening the matter at the administrative level. Because

20

the matter will be reopened, there will be no final administrative decision for this Court to review

21

until the conclusion of that process. Under these circumstances, good cause exists for

22

modification of the pretrial scheduling order entered by this Court on September 20, 2011. Upon

23

conclusion of the reopened administrative proceedings, or by July 16, 2012, the parties will

24

submit a joint status report indicating the case progress, and setting forth a new proposed

25

scheduling order if appropriate.

26

Accordingly, good cause having been demonstrated, the parties respectfully request that the
case be held in abeyance pending reopening before CIS.
