THIS MATTER CAME before this Court for hearing on April 2, 2019. For the reasons
stated in open court, Plaintiffs’ Petition for Review of the Denial of Naturalization is DENIED.

under 8 U.S.C. §1255(i). Plaintiffs have thirty (30) days from entry of this Order in which to file
the required paperwork and fee. Finally, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service
