Here is the email I have just received from the govt. counsel:

"The agency has reported back to me, and has informed me that it is unable to enter into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs at this time. They believe that many of the requests set forth in your proposed settlement agreement and the Complaint are being addressed as a result of steps that were taken prior to this litigation (i.e. proposed EAD reg, and allocation of more agency funds to adjudicate applications in the future, and other initiatives). As to point 4 in plaintiffs' proposed settlement agreement, the agency is barred by statute and regulation from agreeing to that point."

Extraordinary circumstances.

My gut feel is that they do not want to settle. They think if they drag it long enough, we will wear out or they would have made enough changes to answer the court suitably.

By the way, the govt. lawyers were threatening to take depositions (sworn statements/interrogation - in my presence of course) of all plaintiffs. I said sure, I have been dying to depose Bush and Ridge myself. :) They thought that was funny. I don't. If they start a round of depositions, so will we. That is partly why I was asking Cinta nd you all for a list of questions. Good to be prepared months ahead.
