In Hassan v. Chertoff, 543 F.3d 564 (9th. Cir. 2008), the court of appeals affirmed a district court's ruling that jurisdiction to review a petitioner's denial of an adjustment of status application was lacking. Defendant Mayorkas's papers in support of his motion to dismiss did not rely upon Hassan, and the parties did not brief or extensively discuss at oral argument the relevance of that case. Provision of limited briefing on the relevance of Hassan would be useful to the court's deliberations on defendant's pending motion. Accordingly, the parties SHALL SUBMIT simultaneous briefs, each not to exceed five (5) pages, discussing the relevance of Hassan, if any, to the instant case. These briefs shall be submitted within fourteen (14) days of entry of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
