JOINT STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF DEADLINE TO ANSWER PETITION
(Second Request)
ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.
Pursuant to LR 6-1, 6-2, and 7-1, the parties jointly stipulate to extend the deadline for Respondents to answer or otherwise respond to the Petition filed in this matter. In support, the parties state as follows:
1. On November 16, 2015, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of mandamus. See Pet., ECF No. 1. Specifically, Petitioner seeks an order from the Court "to compel Respondents to act on Petitioner's completed I-485 Application to Adjust Status." Id. at ¶ 1.
2. Although Plaintiff completed service on Respondents on February 1, 2016, the civil docket entry notation originally indicated that Respondents' answer deadlines were February 1 and 2, 2016. See Dkt. entry at ECF No. 8. The parties therefore stipulated and agreed that good cause existed to correct Respondents' answer deadline from the deadlines noted on ECF No. 8 to the correct answer date of April 1, 2016. See ECF No. 9; Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2). The Court approved the parties' first stipulation and Respondents' current answer deadline is April 1, 2016. See ECF No. 11.
3. On January 8, 2016, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") issued Petitioner a Request for Evidence pertaining to his I-485 Application to Adjust Status, requesting that certain materials be submitted to USCIS by April 4, 2016. Upon its receipt of the requested materials, USCIS may require additional time beyond Respondents' April 1 answer deadline to review those materials and adjudicate Petitioner's I-485 application. Good cause therefore exists to allow USCIS additional time to review and process Petitioner's I-485 application, which could potentially resolve the issues in the Petition without further litigation.
4. Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree that good cause exists to extend Respondents' answer deadline by thirty days from April 1, 2016, to May 2, 2016.
WHEREFORE, the parties stipulate and agree that good cause exists to extend Respondents' answer deadline by thirty days from April 1, 2016, to May 2, 2016.
Respectfully submitted this 25th day of March 2016.
