Approval of this resolution by the City Council is recommended. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Assembly Member Hayashi has requested the support of the City Council in obtaining <br />resident status for Jacqueline Coats. Mrs. Coats resides on Haas Avenue, San Leandro. <br />As detailed in the resolution, Mrs. Coats' husband, Marlin, died while attempting to save <br />the lives of two children at Ocean Beach in San Francisco on May 14, 2006. Mr. Coats <br />signed the petition to confer permanent residence for his wife on May 10, but did not file <br />the petition prior to his death. Because Mr. Coats died before completing the <br />immigration paperwork for his wife, her petition is deemed void and she may be <br />deported. <br /> <br />CONCLUSION <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution to support the effort of <br />Senator Feinstein and Assembly Member Hayashi to obtain permanent resident status for <br />Mrs. Jacqueline Coats. <br />
