STIPULATION AND ORDER
(FIRST REQUEST)
Plaintiff Lizabeth Fausto and United States of America, on behalf of Federal Defendants Tracy Renaud, in her official capacity as Associate Director of the Service Center Operations Directorate of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“Federal Defendants”), hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
Plaintiff filed her Complaint on December 5, 2022.
Plaintiff served the United States with a copy of the Summons and Complaint via Certified Mail on December 9, 2022.
The current deadline for the United States to respond to the Plaintiff's Complaint is on February 7, 2023.
Plaintiff and the Federal Defendants, through undersigned counsel, stipulate and request that the Court approve a 90-day extension of time, from February 7, 2023, to May 8, 2023, for Federal Defendants to file a response to the Complaint, ECF No. 3. This is the first request for an extension of time.
The parties request this additional time to allow them to engage in discussions directed at resolving this matter, as additional information has been requested by the agency from the Plaintiff regarding her application. The parties have begun those discussions and hope they can resolve the matter without the need for additional cost or further court intervention.
Therefore, the parties request that the Court extend the deadline for the United States to answer or otherwise respond to May 8, 2023.
This stipulated request is filed in good faith and not for the purposes of undue delay.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
