UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ABDUL MAJEED JAHID,
Plaintiff,
v.
MARKWAYNE MULLIN; JOSEPH B.
EDLOW; TODD BLANCHE,
Defendant(s).
Case No. 3:26-cv-03833-TSH
STIPULATION REMANDING CASE TO
UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP AND
IMMIGRATION SERVICES, PURSUANT TO
8 U.S.C. § 1447(b); ORDER
Plaintiff commenced an action pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b), requesting this Court to
adjudicate his application for naturalization that was pending before the United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (“USCIS” or “the agency”) for more than 120 days after Plaintiff had been
interviewed. USCIS now is prepared to resolve this matter by adjudicating Plaintiff’s application for
naturalization. However, USCIS cannot adjudicate the application until the Court remands the matter to
the agency. See 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b) (explaining that the district court “may remand [a Section 1447(b)
case], with appropriate instructions, to the [USCIS]”); United States v. Hovsepian, 359 F.3d 1144, 1160
(9th Cir. 2004) (accord).
Accordingly, subject to the Court’s approval, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that:
