IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND ORDERED THAT:

1. The Protective Order shall remain in effect and continue to govern Petitioner's access to counsel while he remains confined at Guantanamo Bay and has the right to seek further relief by habeas corpus, whether or not he actually continues to have a petition pending before the Court. 2. This Stipulation and Order is without prejudice to the parties' rights to seek to set aside, modify, or otherwise obtain relief from any provision herein or of the Protective Order on any ground which could be or could have been raised at any time. 3.
