UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
AHCENE ZEMIRI,
Petitioner,
v. Civil Action No. 04-2046 (CKK)
BARACK H. OBAMA, President of the
United States, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER
(June 15, 2009)
The Court held a closed-session Status Hearing in the above-captioned case on June 12,
2009. The Court set a schedule for further proceedings based on the assumption that the
Guantanamo Review Task Force operating pursuant to Executive Order No. 13,492 has not made
any recommendations–and the Review Panel in connection with the same has made no
decisions–that would render unnecessary or otherwise inefficient the further expenditure of
judicial and party resources in this matter. To ensure that remains a correct assumption, it is, this
15th day of June, 2009, hereby
ORDERED that Respondents’ counsel shall have an affirmative obligation to ascertain
whether the Guantanamo Review Task Force has made any recommendations regarding the
disposition of Petitioner and, if it has, to notify the Court of the same. If a recommendation
regarding the disposition of Petitioner has been made, Respondents’ counsel shall also have an
affirmative obligation to ascertain whether the Review Panel has made any decisions in
connection with the recommendation and, if so, to notify the Court with the results of such
decisions; it is further
ORDERED that the obligations imposed on Respondents’ counsel pursuant to this Order
shall be immediate and ongoing.
SO ORDERED.
