STIPULATED MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF DEADLINE

Plaintiffs,

v.

MERRICK GARLAND, et al.,

Noted for Consideration:
May 5, 2022

Defendants.

Plaintiffs brought this litigation pursuant to the Mandamus Act and the Administrative

18

Procedure Act seeking, inter alia, to compel the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

19

(“USCIS”) to adjudicate Plaintiffs’ I-485 applications for adjustment of status. Defendants’

20

deadline to respond to the Complaint is May 6, 2022. For good cause, the parties request that

21

this deadline be extended to May 27, 2022.

USCIS has recently adjudicated Plaintiffs’ I-485 applications. USCIS is currently
processing Plaintiffs’ Lawful Permanent Resident cards. Once processed, the cards will be
mailed to Plaintiffs. This extension is requested to allow sufficient time for USCIS to produce
and then Plaintiffs to receive their cards. Plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss the case after receipt.
As this case will likely be dismissed, the parties request that the Court’s Order Regarding Initial
Disclosures, Joint Status Report, and Early Settlement be vacated. Dkt. No. 11.
