Judge John Bates issued the following order in Al-Aulaqi yesterday:
MINUTE ORDER: Pursuant to plaintiff's request (to which defendants have not objected) made during the parties' joint telephone conference held with chambers on this date, it is hereby ORDERED as follows: the motions hearing currently set for October 22, 2010 is CANCELLED and RESET for November 8, 2010 at 2:00 pm in Courtroom 8. The parties have agreed that no further briefing shall be submitted prior to the hearing, absent new factual developments in the case. At the hearing on November 8, 2010, the Court will hear argument only from the parties in this case, and not from any amici who have filed briefs with the Court. The Court will hear first from defendants, then from plaintiff, and then defendants' rebuttal, if any, and plaintiff's sur-rebuttal, if any. Each side shall have a total of one (1) hour to argue, which they may apportion as they see fit. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge John D. Bates on 10/19/10. (Entered: 10/19/2010)
