This is an immigration case currently held in abeyance as the Plaintiff has been referred

18

into removal proceedings. The Court’s jurisdiction to consider the naturalization application is

19

limited once removal proceedings commence. De Lara Bellajardo v. Schiltgen, 378 F.3d 1042,

21

1043-44 (9th Cir. 2004). The parties were to file a joint status report by December 17, 2014. The

22

parties report that Plaintiff remains in immigration proceedings but has recently requested

23

termination of those proceedings from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That request is

24

now under review, and a decision is expected by March 2015. Accordingly, the parties request a

25

continued period of abeyance, until May 22, 2015, at which time the parties will file a status

26
27

report.
