UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

MOHAMMED AL ADAHI, : : Petitioner, : : v. : Civil Action No. 05-280 (GK) : BARACK OBAMA, et al., : : Respondents. :

ORDER

On June 18, 2009, this Court issued an Order that Petitioner Al-Adahi’s testimony should

be presented in a courtroom open to the public and press. For the reasons which the Court fully

explained in an on-the-record telephone conference with counsel, the Court feels compelled to

rescind that Order. However, it is further

ORDERED, that if and when any Petitioner testifies, a transcript shall be prepared

immediately and shall be reviewed and redacted by the appropriate agency within a 24 hour period;

and it is further

ORDERED, that the Government, through the appropriate agency, videotape any such

testimony and maintain copies of the complete testimony as given, as well as a redacted version of

that testimony.
