                                    NOTICE TO COUNSEL

       The Court has determined that, at this time, there is no need to rule on the petitioner’s

request that the government provide a “narrowing statement” of the material facts in the case.

Instead, the Court will rule on this request when it rules on the discovery motion and sets a

schedule for the anticipated motions for judgment on the record.



               Signed by Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth on February 4, 2009.
