STIPULATION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS; ORDER
LISA J. CISNEROS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The parties, through their undersigned attorneys, hereby stipulate and respectfully request the Court to stay proceedings in this case for a limited time, until November 29, 2023. The parties make this joint request because they are pursuing an administrative resolution that may render further litigation of this case unnecessary.
Plaintiff filed this mandamus action seeking adjudication of her Form I-589, Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) scheduled an interview for Plaintiffs for August 1, 2023. After Mrs. Kaur's interview concludes, USCIS will work expeditiously to finalize the adjudication no later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of Mrs. Singh's interview with USCIS, absent unforeseen or exceptional circumstances that would require additional time for adjudication. If USCIS cancels or reschedules Mrs. Kaur's interview, USCIS will reschedule the interview for a date not more than 4 weeks from the originally scheduled date.
Accordingly, the parties stipulate and request that the proceedings in this case be stayed until November 29, 2023, at which time the parties will file a joint status report with the Court. At that time, the parties may request a further continuance of the stay of proceedings, dismissal of the litigation if appropriate, or placement of the case back on the Court's active docket. A stay of proceedings in this case will benefit the parties and conserve the Court's resources while the parties pursue a potential administrative resolution. In accordance with Civil Local Rule 5(i)(3), the filer of this document attests that all signatories listed herein concur in the filing of this document.
ORDER
Pursuant to stipulation, IT IS SO ORDERED.
