Per the Court’s order of October 12, 2012, see Docket No. 161 (order), Plaintiff has

17

identified for Defendants the air carrier he intends to use (Emirates) and the date for pick-up of the

18

transportation letter(s) (November 25, 2012). Plaintiff, however, has asked the Court to reconsider

19

its order requiring him to pick up the transportation letter(s) from a U.S. embassy in Turkey.

20

Plaintiff represents that it is possible for the U.S. embassy in Greece to send the transportation

21

letter(s) to the Swiss embassy in Bern, Switzerland, who will then forward the transportation

22

letter(s) to the Swiss embassy in Tehran through diplomatic mail (thus avoiding the use of, e.g.,

23

DHL).

1

The Court hereby orders Defendants to provide a declaration certifying whether it is or is not

2

possible for the transportation letter(s) to be provided to Plaintiff by the above means. If Defendants

3

claim that it is not possible, then they must provide a specific explanation as to why not. A

4

conclusory explanation shall not suffice. The declaration shall be e-filed within two days of the date

5

of this order, although Defendants may petition for additional time upon a showing of good cause.

6

Absent further order of this Court, Plaintiff is not permitted to submit a brief in response to

7

Defendants’ declaration.
