No. 2:11-cv-2936 LKK DAD
JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER RE:
EXTENSION OF TIME

18
19
This is an immigration case in which plaintiff has challenged the refusal to issue a visa to his
20

fiancé. Since the filing of this lawsuit, the Department of State is in the process of returning the

21

visa application to the Ho Chi Minh City post for further investigation. The parties therefore

22

stipulate to a 90-day extension of time in which to file both the government’s answer to the

23

complaint and the joint status report, as the parties explore the possibility of a resolution at the

24

administrative level.

25
26

The parties therefore stipulate that the time for filing the government’s answer be extended to
April 4, 2012, and that the scheduling conference, currently set for February 6, 2012, be reset to
sometime after the new answer due date.
