2016 in light of recently discovered case law, Hamdan v. United States Department of Justice, 797

segregability arguments. Each party may file a supplemental brief on these two issues of no more
19
than eight pages, double-spaced by June 1, 2016. The parties may file replies on these same two

issues by June 15, 2016. They may also provide declarations in support of their supplemental
