ORDER RE STIPULATION FOR TEMPORARY ABEYANCE
HONORABLE JOHN A. MENDEZ, SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Defendants respectfully request to hold this case in temporary abeyance through May 9, 2024, and counsel for Plaintiffs does not oppose. In this case, Plaintiff alleges that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) has unreasonably delayed scheduling an interview on her pending asylum application, which she filed in 2017. USCIS has scheduled Plaintiff's asylum interview for January 10, 2024. The parties anticipate that this lawsuit will be rendered moot once USCIS completes its adjudication of Plaintiff's application, and USCIS will endeavor to do so within 120 days.
The parties therefore stipulate that this matter be held in temporary abeyance through May 9, 2024. The parties further request that all other filing and case management deadlines be similarly vacated.
ORDER
The Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, ADOPTS the parties' stipulation in its entirety as its order. This matter is hereby held in temporary abeyance through May 9, 2024. Any hearing dates and deadlines previously set in this matter are VACATED. The parties are ORDERED to file a joint status report with the Court not later than May 7, 2024, advising the Court as to the status of this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
