SECOND JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: REQUEST TO HOLD

MATTER IN ABEYANCE.

This is an immigration case in which plaintiffs challenge the revocation of visa petitions filed by plaintiff Audrey Casillas by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (CIS) and seeking an order of declaratory relief that the visa petitions be approved. The parties previously stipulated to hold the matter in abeyance pending an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The result of that administrative appeal was that the matter was returned to CIS, which in turn provided further explanation and then recently returned the matter in its entirety to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The matter is once again freshly pending at the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Because of the likelihood that adjudication by the Board of Immigration Appeals will render this action moot, the parties request that the case be held in abeyance until May 15, 2012, and that all case deadlines be extended to sometime after that date.
