In Bojja v. Jaddou, Judge Demarchi ordered the proceedings to remain stayed pending a Supreme Court order in the related Babaria case.
The stay affects Harsha Bojja and Ur Jaddou, Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, because proceedings in their case remain on hold.
What happened
In Bojja v. Jaddou, the parties submitted a joint statement about a related Ninth Circuit decision and a pending petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review it.
The parties asked the court to keep this case on hold until the Supreme Court either denied review or issued an order addressing the case’s merits. They also agreed that the plaintiffs would notify the court within seven days of either event.
Judge Virginia Demarchi adopted the parties’ stipulation, and the proceedings remain stayed. The order did not decide the underlying legal dispute.
