Opinion
McGREGOR W. SCOTT, United States Attorney, AUDREY B. HEMESATH, Assistant United States Attorney, Sacramento, California, Attorneys for Defendants.
DEFENDANTS' SECOND MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH TO FILE AN ANSWER AND ORDER
OLIVER W. WANGER, District Judge.
Plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging that defendants have failed to timely process his application for naturalization. Defendants have previously requested one previous extension of time based on the medical leave of counsel. Defendants respectfully inform the Court that plaintiff Brar's application is currently pending clearance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Since the time of defendant's first request for an extension, an expedite request on the security check has been placed with the FBI. Once the FBI has cleared the application, CIS will resume the processing of the application in the most expedited manner possible.
Because plaintiff's application is currently pending at the FBI, defendants request an extension of time in which to either file an answer to the complaint or a joint motion to dismiss the case as moot. The typical time frame required by that agency for completion of the name and background check is 60 days from the date of the expedite request. Defendants therefore request an extension until May 29, 2007.
ORDER
Pursuant to this Motion for an Extension of Time and for the reasons stated therein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the defendant's Answer is due on May 29, 2007, and the Scheduling Conference, currently set for April 20, 2007 is reset to June 29, 2007 at 8:45 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
