JOINT STATUS REPORT AND STIPULATION TO CONTINUE THE STAY OF PROCEEDINGS; ORDER (AS MODIFIED)
Hon. KANDIS A. WESTMORE United States Magistrate Judge
The parties, through their undersigned attorneys, submit this joint status report regarding U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (“USCIS”) adjudication of Plaintiff LiveEdu Inc.'s Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker on behalf of Dr. Machel J. Garbade (“O-1 petition”). USCIS has completed adjudication of Plaintiff's reopened O-1 petition, and the parties have reached an agreement regarding the administrative resolution of this case. USCIS will approve Plaintiff's O-1 petition and the parties will stipulate to dismissal of this case with each party bearing its own fees and costs.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request the Court to continue the stay of proceedings in this case for a limited time, until September 7, 2021. The additional time is necessary to allow USCIS to issue the approval notices and the parties to prepare a stipulation to dismiss the case. Because the agency's action will render further litigation of this case unnecessary and moot, the parties conferred and agree that judicial economy would best be served by continuing the stay of the litigation deadlines in this case until the administrative proceeding underlying this matter is resolved.
ORDER (AS MODIFIED)
Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, and good cause having been shown, it is hereby ordered that the stay of proceedings in this case be continued until September 17, 2021.
IT IS SO ORDERED AS MODIFIED.
