| 2023-09-11 | 37 | MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: 36 Status Report filed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, United States Department of State. ENDORSEMENT: The Court thanks the parties for the status update. At the time any issue becomes ripe for summary judgment motion practice, the party seeking to file the motion should file a letter motion seeking a pre-motion conference. At the pre-motion conference, the Court will hear from both sides as to whether the motion should proceed immediately or should be delayed until such a time as all potential issues are identified. The Court also notes that certain issues may be more efficiently resolved at a Case Management Conference rather than with motion practice. In the event an issue arises that may be resolvable at a Case Management Conference, the parties may file a letter motion that succinctly summarizes the issue and requests a case management conference to discuss the issue.
