JOINT STATUS REPORT AND REQUEST TO CONTINUE THE STAY OF THE PROCEEDINGS AN ADDITIONAL 60 DAYS
ANDREW P. GORDON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby file this joint status report and stipulate and jointly move the Court to continue to stay all deadlines an additional 60 days in this matter based on the following:
1. On March 23, 2021, Plaintiff filed his Complaint for Relief in the Nature of Mandamus (ECF No. 1), requesting, among other things, that the Court issue a Writ of Mandamus compelling the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) to adjudicate Plaintiff's I-485 application.
2. The deadline for the Federal Defendants to answer or otherwise plead was June 23, 2021 (ECF No. 6).
3. On June 8, 2021, the parties stipulated to stay this case's proceedings (ECF No. 7). As part of the stipulation, the parties agreed to provide the Court with a joint status report 90 days after the entry of the Court's stay order (ECF No. 7 at 2).
4. On June 9, 2021, the Court granted the parties' stipulation (ECF No. 8).
5. On September 7, 2021, the parties filed a joint status report and requested an additional 60 days due to Plaintiff's relocation from Las Vegas to Reno (ECF No. 9).
6. Since the Court granted the parties stipulation to extend an additional 60 days (ECF No. 10), USCIS scheduled and held an interview for Plaintiff. Following Plaintiff's interview USCIS sought additional documentary evidence needed to adjudicate Plaintiff's I-485 application.
7. USCIS's adjudication of Plaintiff's I-485 application may result in resolution of some or all of the issues raised in the complaint.
8. Accordingly, the parties provide this updated status report and hereby request that the Court continue to stay this matter pending resolution or final adjudication of Plaintiff's I-485 application. If the parties are able to resolve this matter, they will promptly file a stipulation of dismissal.
9. If the parties are unable to resolve this matter and the case is not dismissed, the parties agree to file another joint status report 60 days after the entry of the Court's order on this stipulation.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
