ORDER 
 
FINCH, J. 
 
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on a Motion to Dismiss or, in the alternative, for 
Summary Judgment filed by Defendants.  After careful consideration of the Motion to Dismiss 
this matter for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), or in the 
alternative for Summary Judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56, and being fully advised in the 
premises, the Court finds as follows: 
This Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction of this matter, in as much as the relief sought 
by Plaintiff, i.e., for the Department of Homeland Security, United States Office of Citizenship 
and Immigration Services (CIS) to render a decision on an I-130 Petition For Alien Relative filed 
by Plaintiff, has been done by CIS.  Plaintiff, in her prayer for relief, specifically asked this Court to

compel CIS to make a decision on her I-130 petition and CIS has made this decision, granting the 
relief sought in Plaintiff’s complaint for mandamus.   Since CIS has already granted Plaintiff’s 
request, there is nothing for this Court to determine or to compel CIS to do by way of mandamus.  
Defendant CIS’s voluntary actions renders the relief requested in Plaintiff’s complaint moot.  
Since there is no case or controversy before the Court, it is hereby 
 
ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is 
GRANTED; and it is further  
ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Deem Conceded Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss 
is DISMISSED. 
 
ENTERED this 30th day of May, 2008.
