Opinion

USDC SDNY DOCUMENT UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT ELECTRONICALLY FILED SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DOC #: AZIZ OBIDOV, DATE FILED: _!1/26/19__ Plaintitt, 19-CV-6712 (GBD) (BCM) -against- RDER CHAD F. WOLF,! in his official capacity as 0 Acting Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, et al., Defendants.

BARBARA MOSES, United States Magistrate Judge. The Court construes plaintiff's letter dated November 22, 2019 (Dkt. No. 24) as his reply to defendants' response (Dkt. No. 17) to the Court's Order to Show Cause (Dkt. No. 11). Absent further order of the Court, no further briefing 1s required or will be accepted, with respect to the Order to Show Cause, prior to the hearing scheduled for December 10, 2019. To the extent plaintiff intends his most recent letter to serve as a motion for summary judgment, it is premature, in that this action was terminated on August 19, 2019, in accordance with the Stipulation and Order of Dismissal so-ordered by the district judge that same day (Dkt. No. 8), and at present has not been reopened. The Court further notes that the application fails to comply with the procedural requirements set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 and Local Civil Rules 6.1, 7.1, and 56.1, and seeks relief unavailable under 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). See, e.g., Ajlani v. Chertoff, 545 F.3d 229, 241 (2d Cir. 2008) (holding that "an alien cannot secure naturalization from either the district court or the Attorney General while removal proceedings are pending” and that the district court "lack[s] jurisdiction to review the propriety of the removal proceedings"). For these reasons, all further briefing as to summary judgment is hereby stayed. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to the plaintiff. Dated: New York, New York November 26, 2019 SO ORDERED.
