ORDER
This matter is before the Court on petitioner’s motion to suppress the amended
factual return. In their opposition, respondents identify two pending proceedings that may make
petitioner’s motion moot in full or in part. Specifically, respondents represent that they have
submitted for declassification certain statements attributed to petitioner which currently are
deemed classified. In addition, the determination of whether the Protective Order permits a
petitioner’s counsel to disclose classified information acquired from the petitioner to the
petitioner himself is before Judge Hogan for consideration. Accordingly, the Court concludes
that petitioner’s motion may become moot in full or in part, and therefore that it does not make
sense to rule on it at this point. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that petitioner’s motion [263] is denied without prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
