SECOND JOINT STIPULATION AND
ORDER RE: REQUEST TO HOLD
MATTER IN ABEYANCE.

Defendants.

14
15

This is an immigration case in which plaintiffs challenge the revocation of visa petitions filed

16

by plaintiff Audrey Casillas by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (CIS) and seeking an

17

order of declaratory relief that the visa petitions be approved. The parties previously stipulated to

18

hold the matter in abeyance pending an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The result

19

of that administrative appeal was that the matter was returned to CIS, which in turn provided

20

further explanation and then recently returned the matter in its entirety to the Board of

21

Immigration Appeals. The matter is once again freshly pending at the Board of Immigration
Appeals.

22

Because of the likelihood that adjudication by the Board of Immigration Appeals will render

23

this action moot, the parties request that the case be held in abeyance until May 15, 2012, and

24

that all case deadlines be extended to sometime after that date.
