Opinion
CIVIL CASE NO. 3:07cv39.
October 5, 2007
ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on reassignment.
The Plaintiffs initiated this action on January 29, 2007 seeking mandamus, declaratory and injunctive relief based on the alleged failure of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) to adjudicate their application to register for permanent residence or to adjust their status, which had been pending since January 23, 2003. The Defendants moved to dismiss on April 23, 2007 and the Plaintiffs responded. However, on July 5, 2007, the Defendants, with the consent of the Plaintiffs, moved to dismiss the action as moot. On June 27, 2007, each Plaintiff received notice from the CIS that each of their applications had been approved for permanent residence status. See, Exhibits 1 2, attached to Motion to Dismiss for Mootness, filed July 5, 2007. The Plaintiffs have now received their green cards and have joined in the motion to dismiss.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the motion to dismiss for mootness is hereby GRANTED and this action is hereby DISMISSED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other pending motions are hereby DENIED as moot.
