ORDER
The Court ORDERS that the cases of petitioners in the above-captioned civil cases who were previously detained at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are transferred from 08-mc-0442 to 08-mc-0444 for coordination and management purposes. The Merits Judges will continue to retain the cases for all other purposes.
All future filings shall be captioned to identify the Miscellaneous Number established solely for the purpose of consolidating the proceedings before the undersigned as well as under the Civil Action Number originally assigned to the petition. Accordingly, the parties shall adhere to the above case-caption format for the purpose of filing all documents in these cases, although the only Civil Action Numbers that will be identified on any given filing will be the numbers applicable to that particular filing. For example, if the petitioner in Civil Action No. 10-0111 files a document that applies only to his case, the case caption should be formatted as follows, with the "XXX" representing the initials of the appropriate judge: IN RE: Misc. No. 08-0444 (TFH) PETITIONERS SEEKING HABEAS CORPUS RELIEF Civil Action No. 10-0111 (XXX) IN RELATION TO PRIOR DETENTIONS AT GUANTANAMO BAY
