THREE-JUDGE COURT
ORDER DENYING REQUEST
FOR HEARING BY INMATES
CLARK AND SAIF'ULLAH
On July 19, 2011, this Court rejected a request by inmates Thomas M. Clark and Khalifa E.D. Saif' ullah to be appointed as counsel so that they may request an order releasing "Indeterminately Sentenced prisoners who have exceeded their minimum term requirements." The Court noted in a footnote that "[t]he inmates reference documents submitted for filing on June 9, 2010, but this Court has no record of any such documents." July 19, 2011 Order at 1 n. 1. The inmates have now re-submitted the documents previously sent in June 2010 along with the attached request for a hearing. Upon review of the inmates' submission, the Court continues to be unpersuaded that class counsel's representation is inadequate, nor does the Court find an evidentiary hearing to be necessary at this time. Accordingly, with good cause appearing, the inmates' request is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
A single judge is authorized to make this ruling under 28 U.S.C. § 2284(b)(3).
