STIPULATED MOTION TO DISMISS AND REMAND AND [PROPOSED] ORDER
Tana Lin United States District Judge
Plaintiff Iman Al Darraji brought this action pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b), alleging that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) failed to adjudicate her Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, within 120 days after her initial interview. She seeks de novo review of her application and adjudication by this Court. The parties have reached an agreement that will resolve this case in its entirety.
The parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby jointly stipulate and move to dismiss this matter without prejudice, without fees or costs to either party, and request that the Court remand the matter to USCIS. Once remanded, USCIS agrees to interview Plaintiff on June 21, 2023. USCIS further agrees to adjudicate Plaintiff's N-400 and, if appropriate, administer the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance within 30 days of the interview. Accordingly, the parties have resolved all outstanding issues and further judicial intervention is unnecessary.
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
Dated: June 14, 2023
Respectfully submitted, United States Attorney's Office
[PROPOSED] ORDER

USCIS shall interview Plaintiff on June 21, 2023. Thereafter, USCIS shall adjudicate Plaintiff's N-400 and, if appropriate, administer the Oath of Allegiance within 30 days of the interview.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED.
