(Gorman, H.)
 * On 26 November 2008 H. Candace Gorman filed a "OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION" with regard to Abdul Hamid Al-Ghizzawi and Abdal Razak Ali in Civil Action No. 05-cv-2378, 05-cv-2386 (JBB, RBW).
 * Gorman opposes a Government motion to provide only limited discovery of the evidence used to justify detaining her clients. She wrote: "In June 2008, in Boumediene v. Bush 553 U.S. ___, 128 S. Ct. 2229 (2008) the United States Supreme Court concluded that the men at Guantanamo have waited long enough and are entitled to prompt habeas hearings and ordered the lower courts to provide them with these hearing forthwith. Now, some six months later Petitioners have finally obtained an Order setting timetables and minimal discovery and yet, nonetheless, respondents contend that even this is too much work. The government has had six and a half years to compile documentary evidence that there is a lawful basis to hold Petitioners. The government should be required to promptly comply with this Court’s Order and they should under no circumstances, be allowed to cut back on the minimal discovery ordered. The Government’s records in those cases that have gone forward indicates that it simply has no lawful basis to hold many of the prisoners, and never did, and granting it more time will not correct this."
