OCAHO grants deadline extension and counsel change in citizenship-discrimination case
The Justice Department’s Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer issued a brief procedural order on Feb. 10, 2025 in US Tech Workers et al. v. Gensler. Administrative Law Judge Andrea R. Carroll-Tipton granted a joint request to extend the deadline for the respondent’s answer from Feb. 5 to Feb. 17, and she also approved the withdrawal of one attorney and the substitution of new counsel.
According to the order, the request followed the departure of outgoing counsel from the firm, and the parties asked for a short transition period so new counsel could take over. The complainant did not object. The judge found good cause for the request and granted it.
The filing is limited to case management. It does not decide the citizenship-discrimination claim, and it does not resolve any larger policy question. The only thing it does is adjust deadlines and update the appearance of counsel in an OCAHO proceeding brought under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b.
