Malashaan, representing appellate Ever-Wandering Souls, has requested that I be required by the Chief Justice to recuse from this matter. That request is unnecessary. I recused myself on July 26, when the appeal was filed. I have not served in any judicial capacity on this matter, as I was consulted about it prior to my appointment as Associate Justice, as an adviser of the former Prime Minister.

As the Intelligence Coordinator for the Council on Regional Security, I am responsible for the dissemination of classified materials to the Court. Additionally, I assert an interest in responding to any matters pertaining in general to the duties and authorities of the Intelligence Coordinator and intelligence classification.
