Klaskovskii v. USCIS

1 District Judge John H. Chun

7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 8 AT SEATTLE SERGEI KLASKOVSKII, No. 2:22-cv-1727-JHC 10 Plaintiff, STIPULATED MOTION TO HOLD CASE IN ABEYANCE AND ORDER 11 v. Noted for Consideration: UR M. JADDOU, et al., February 1, 2023 13 Defendants.

15 Plaintiff brought this litigation pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act seeking, inter alia, to compel the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) to schedule an interview and adjudicate his asylum application. The parties are currently working diligently towards a resolution to this litigation. For good cause, the parties request that the Court continue to hold the case in abeyance until May 30, 2023.

20 Courts have “broad discretion” to stay proceedings. Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 706 (1997). “[T]he power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 1.

1 With additional time, this case may be resolved without the need of further judicial intervention. USCIS’s Asylum Office has scheduled Plaintiff’s interview for February 27, 2023.

3 To provide USCIS with time to conduct the interview and thereafter adjudicate his application, the parties request this Court to hold the case in abeyance until May 28, 2023 (90 days after the scheduled interview date). The parties will submit a joint status report on or before May 28, 2023.
