     A Status Conference was held in this case on May 27, 2009,

     ORDERED,    that    the   Government     shall     consult   with    the

appropriate agencies to determine whether copies of certain de-

classified documents can be made available to Petitioner Bawazir in

advance of his June 1, 2009, morning meeting with counsel; and it

is further

     ORDERED,    that    the   Government     shall     consult   with    the

now available to him; and it is further

     ORDERED, that by 5:00 p.m. on June 5, 2009, the Government

shall file a Praecipe stating whether it has completed its search

extracted from his cell, and whether that search yielded any video

records; and it is further

      ORDERED, that by 5:00 p.m. on May 28, 2009, counsel for

Petitioner Bawazir shall file a Praecipe informing the Court as to
