        The Court ORDERS that the cases of petitioners in the above-captioned civil cases

who were previously detained at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are

transferred from 08-mc-0442 to 08-mc-0444 for coordination and management purposes. The

Merits Judges will continue to retain the cases for all other purposes.

       All future filings shall be captioned to identify the Miscellaneous Number established

solely for the purpose of consolidating the proceedings before the undersigned as well as under

the Civil Action Number originally assigned to the petition. Accordingly, the parties shall

adhere to the above case-caption format for the purpose of filing all documents in these cases,

numbers applicable to that particular filing. For example, if the petitioner in Civil Action No.

follows, with the “XXX” representing the initials of the appropriate judge:
