interferes with the Executive’s ability to conduct the sensitive

diplomatic negotiations required to arrange safe transfers for

detainees.”); and it is further

       ORDERED, that Petitioner’s Emergency Motion is denied without

prejudice; and it is further

       ORDERED, that parties shall report on the status of the case
