At the Case Management Conference on A[pril 18, 2013, counsel for Plaintiff represented that if
a motion for preliminary injunction were needed, it would be filed by May 15, 2013. Since the
conference, counsel for the Defendants has advised that his clients are still determining whether or
not all or some portion of the requested Asylum Officer notes will be released to plaintiff without
a court order requiring their production. If all of the notes are promptly released by the
Defendants, Plaintiff will not file (or will withdraw) his motion for preliminary injunction.
Counsel for Plaintiff selected the July 3, 2013, hearing date set forth in the text because it appears
to be the only date that is currently available for argument on the Court’s calendar without setting
the motion (and briefing schedule) on an expedited basis. If a motion is required, however,
counsel for Plaintiff would prefer that the Court hold a hearing before July 3, as one of the Asylum
Officer notes at issue is needed for a July 1 immigration hearing. Accordingly, Plaintiff
respectfully requests leave to seek an earlier hearing date (and expedited briefing schedule) if this
becomes necessary. Defendant prefers the joint briefing schedule outlined above.
