ORDER SUPPLEMENTING AiD AMENDING, FttlNG PROCEDURES
COOTALNED IN NOVEMBER 8. 2004 AMENDED PROTECTIVE ORDER

In its November 8, 2004 Amended Protective Order, the Court set forth procedures for
the filing of documents by counsel m these coordinated cases. Paragraph 46 governs the filing of
documents by counsel for the petitioners and requires that all filings be first submitted under seal
to the Court Security Officer ("CSO") to determine whether they contain classified or protected
mfonnation. If the CSO, in consultation with tKe appropriate agency, concludes that a particular
filmg does not contain any classified or protected information. 1 46 requires the unsealing of the
document by the CSO and the filing of the documem in the public record. If the CSO, in
consultahon with the appropnate agency, concludes that a particular filing does contain classified
or protected information, that information is to remain under seal and the unclassified and
unprotected portions of the filing, if any, are to be placed in the public record. Paragraph 47
governs the filing of classified materials by counsel for the respondents and requires counsel to
submit classified filings under seal to the Court through the CSO.

I, has recently come to the Coinf s attention that some confusion and certain difficulties
have arisen with respect to the filmg of documents containing classffied or protected irtformatioh.
Most of the difficulties have arisen as a result of the nature of the Court's CM/ECF electronic
fiHng system. ?« clarify and, hopefully, to improve the filing system, it is hereby

ORDERED that the "Procedures For FiUng Documents" contained on pages 13 through
,4 of the November 8, 2004 Amended Protective Order.are modified and supplemented as

follows:

All documents filed by a petitioner shall be filed mtder seal with the Court through the

attorney shall file on the public record m the CM/ECF system a '-Notice of Filing" notifying the
Court that a submission has been made to the CSO and speci-fyiug in general terms the^ature of
the filing without disclosing any potentially classified or protected mformation. It is the Court's
understandrag that the CM/ECF system reqmres counsel to attach a document to any entry made
by them on the system. Accordingly, the document to be attached to the Notice of Filing in the
CM/ECF system shall be a one page submission repeating in general terms the nature of the
filmg without disclosing any potentially classified or protected information and disclosing the
date and time the document was dehvered to the CSO for her review.
