Motion to Provide for Supplemental Briefing

These consolidated cases have been briefed and argued, and are awaiting a ruling by this Court. However, on June 29, 2006, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, No. 05-184. The Supreme Court’s decision is obviously pertinent here, in particular with regard to the Court’s discussion of the jurisdictional provisions in the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005. We therefore believe that it would be helpful to this Court for the parties to provide simultaneous supplemental briefs addressing the relevance of the Hamdan decision.

Accordingly, we move for the Court to order that the parties here provide supplemental briefs of no more than 20 pages by July 17, 2006, addressing the Supreme Court’s decision in Hamdan.

Respectfully submitted,

PAUL D. CLEMENT

Solicitor General

PETER D. KEISLER

Assistant Attorney General

GREGORY G. KATSAS
