IN RE: GUANTANAMO BAY DETAINEE LITIGATION

RESPONDENTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR A BRIEF EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF Respondents, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby move this honorable Court for a brief extension of time, from June 24 until no later than July 1, 2010 to file their Reply Brief in Further Support of Respondents' Motion to Amend and for Clarification of the Court's January 14, 2010 Order Regarding Public Returns. The extension of time is needed because of a sudden development in one of the Guantanamo Bay habeas cases that requires time and attention that

counsel working on this matter had intended to devote to the completion of Respondents' reply brief. This is the second motion for an extension of time for Respondents' reply. The Court previously granted Respondents' Unopposed Motion to File a Consolidated Reply and for an Extension of Time to Reply to the Responses of Petitioners and Press Intervenors (Dkt. # 1952) (May 12, 2010). See Minute Order (May 13, 2010). No party will be prejudiced, however, by this brief extension of time. Pursuant to LCvR 7(m), counsel for Respondents met and conferred with representative counsel for Petitioners and counsel for Press Intervenors regarding the instant motion. Darin Thompson, on behalf of Petitioners' counsel, stated that Petitioners do not object. Counsel for Press Intervenors indicated that Press Intervenors take no position with regard to Respondents' requested relief but they wish to note that they continue to object generally to delay in the process associated with the filing of public returns. For the above stated reasons, the Court should grant Respondents' Unopposed Motion for A Brief Extension of Time to File Reply Brief. Dated: June 23, 2010 Respectfully submitted, TONY WEST Assistant Attorney General JOSEPH H. HUNT Branch Director TERRY M. HENRY Assistant Branch Director /s Lisa Zeidner Marcus JAMES J. GILLIGAN Assistant Branch Director LISA ZEIDNER MARCUS Trial Attorney (NY Bar Registration No. 4461679) 2
