Date Filed Document Text
October 19, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER DISMISSING CASE: The Court construes plaintiffs request to withdraw the case at #8 as a motion to voluntarily dismiss this case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). So construed, the motion is granted. Ordered by Judge Rachel P. Kovner on 10/19/2022. (de Carvalho, Simon)
October 17, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: On 10/14/2022, defendants notified the Court that plaintiff has been issued an interview notice in connection with her I-589 asylum application. See Dkt. #7-1. Courts in this district have found that issuance of an interview notice renders moot a suit to compel adjudication of an immigration application. See Yusupov v. Mayorkas, No. 21-CV-4066 (EK), 2021 WL 6105720, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 23, 2021); cf. Ye v. Kelly, No. 17-CV-3010 (BMC), 2017 WL 2804932, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. June 28, 2017) ("Plaintiff brought this action for mandamus because defendants were allegedly refusing to act.... Plaintiff, however, has received what she wanted--action--and... that is all she can expect at this point. If the time comes in the future where there is another delay that plaintiff believes is illegal, plaintiff will be free to commence another proceeding to challenge that delay."). By 10/31/2022, plaintiff is directed to clarify whether she intends to continue the litigation in light of defendants' issuance of an interview notice. If so, plaintiff shall explain why the complaint should not be dismissed as moot. Plaintiff shall also clarify whether she is represented by counsel. Ordered by Judge Rachel P. Kovner on 10/17/2022.
