On Monday, counsel for the habeas petitioners Farhi Saeed Bin Mohammed and Omar Khadr replied to the government's oppositions to their cert. petitions.
The Khadr reply is short, and the Mohammed reply even shorter. In fact, the Mohammed reply, which came after the government transferred Mohammed from Guantanamo Bay to Algeria, concedes that the transfer rendered the petition itself moot. It states that the petitioner would be filing a Rule 46 dismissal motion (also filed Monday) and asks the Court to reference arguments made in the original Mohammed petition in considering whether to grant cert. in Khadr (the Mohammed and Khadr petitions share a question presented).
UPDATE: Mohammed petition. Khadr petition.
