Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case.) This is a class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California challenging the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) handle and process Special Immigration Juvenile (SIJ) applications. SIJ status is an immigration classification for noncitizens in the U.S. who require the protection of a juvenile court because they have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by a parent. Plaintiffs included six individuals who submitted applications for SIJ status and six organizations who provide legal and other assistance to individuals applying for SIJ status. Named defendants included Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of DHS, the Director of USCIS, and USCIS. On November 8, 2023, USCIS announced that it was updating guidance in the USCIS policy manual for adjudicating SIJ petitions in response the court's July 31, 2023 declaratory order.

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: ORDER CONTINUING Hearing on Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment 67, 71 .The Court, on its own motion, hereby CONTINUES the hearing on the parties' Cross Motions for Summary Judgment to July 24, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. Briefing deadlines are correspondingly continued.As discussed at today's hearing, the Court's ruling on the class certification motion will issue very shortly. The Court returned to the parties their courtesy copies of the Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment (and retained the courtesy copy of the Administrative Record) under the assumption that the class certification ruling will affect the issues on which the parties request summary judgment and will accordingly narrow the Cross-Motions themselves. The Court will provide the parties with an amended briefing schedule and additional instructions for theiramended summary judgment motions as part of the class certification order.

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFFS' RENEWED MOTION FOR CLASSCERTIFICATION 58 by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: The Court STRIKES the parties filings at ECF Nos. 87 and 88 . The Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Plaintiffs Motion for Class Certification. (SEE DOCUMENT FOR SPECIFICS RE TOLLING PROVISIONS CLAIM AS ENUMERATED HEREIN ). The Court appoints Carlos Abel Hernandez Arevalo and Rene Isai Serrano Montes as class representatives, and the Court appoints Peter Schey and Sarah Kahn of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law as class counsel. The Court further finds that the missed deadline claim is not appropriate for class certification and denies the Motion to that extent. Furthermore, to provide the parties with an opportunity to amend their summary judgment motions in light of this Order, the Court ORDERS as follows: Amended Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment must be filed no later thanJune 26, 2023. If a party does not file an amended motion by this date, theCourt will assume that party has elected to stand on its previously filed motion. Oppositions are due no later than July 10, 2023. Replies are due no later than July 17, 2023. If the parties cite to the Administrative Record in any of their briefs, the Court requests that the parties submit, along with that brief, excerpts of the Administrative Record passages to which they cite. This is to facilitate easy reference to the Administrative Record materials and avoid the need to have the entire Administrative Record on hand. The parties are ORDERED to submit a single courtesy copy of all briefs and materials related to the summary judgment motions. (lc) (Entered: 05/25/2023)
