       On April 29, 2009, this Court stayed the habeas proceedings for Abdul Rahman Ahmed,

a/k/a Abdul Al Rahman Al Ziahri, a/k/a/ Abdurahman LNU, at the joint request of the parties.

Counsel for Mr. Ahmed filed a Motion to Lift the Stay on June 18, 2009, in light of the recent

verbal authorization from Mr. Ahmed to proceed with the habeas action. Respondents do not

oppose petitioner's motion.

       Therefore, is ORDERED that the stay be lifted. A status conference shall be promptly

scheduled to set dates for further proceedings herein.

        IT IS SO ORDERED.
