10 Petitioner-Plaintiffs, STIPULATED MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE AND [PROPOSED] 11 v. ORDER

12 DREW BOSTOCK, et al., Noted for Consideration: 13 Respondents- July 26, 2024 Defendants. 14 15 The parties, by and through their counsel of record, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 16 Procedure 6 and Local Rules 7(d)(1), 10(g) and 16, hereby jointly stipulate and move to extend 17 Respondents’ deadline to file a return to the habeas petition to August 28, 2024. This Court has 18 extended this deadline once before and Respondents’ current deadline to file a return is July 29, 19 2024. Dkt. No. 22, Order. Good cause exists for a second extension of this deadline to August 20 28, 2024. 21 A court may modify a deadline for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). Continuing pretrial 22 and trial dates is within the discretion of the trial judge. See King v. State of California, 23 784 F.2d 910, 912 (9th Cir. 1986). 24 1 Since the parties’ last filing, the Immigration Judge issued a final order of removal and 2 Petitioner waived appeal. Petitioner has filed an application with U.S. Citizenship and 3 Immigration Service (“USCIS”) that may allow her to remain in the United States. She has also

4 submitted a request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) for an administrative 5 stay of her removal. ICE requires a preliminary determination from USCIS before it can decide 6 this request. Accordingly, an extension will provide the time for the agencies to process and save 7 resources of the parties and this Court. 8 Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Respondents’ deadline to file a return 9 be extended to August 28, 2024. 10 DATED this 26th day of July, 2024.

11 Respectfully submitted,
