The parties, through their attorneys, hereby stipulate and respectfully request the Court to stay

20 proceedings in this case for a limited time, until April 10, 2024. The parties make this joint request
21 because they are pursuing an administrative resolution that may render further litigation of this case
22 unnecessary.

Plaintiff filed this mandamus action seeking adjudication of his Form I-589, Application for

24 Asylum and Withholding of Removal. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”)
25 scheduled an interview for December 12, 2023. USCIS will work diligently towards completing
26 adjudication of the I-589 application, absent the need for further adjudicative action or unforeseen
27 circumstances that would require additional time for adjudication.
