COME NOW  the People of the United States of America (hereinafter

"Petitioners"), ex  relatione Paul  Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.,

Citizen of  Arizona state  (hereinafter "Relator"),  to  petition

this honorable  Court to  reconsider its  Order, dated  July  22,

1996, in  which the  Court dismissed  the Petition with prejudice

and further found the Petition and all subsequent pleadings to be

frivolous.

     Petitioners hereby respectfully wish to bring to the Court's

attention:   (1) Their  Petition, dated  June 17,  1996, in which

they moved  the Court  for formal  leave to  appear  in  writing,

instead of  being physically  present,  and  (2)  Their  previous

Petition for  Clarification of  this Court's  Order dated May 31,

1996.

                  Petition for Reconsideration:
                          Page 1 of 4


     The Court has not ruled upon either of these two Motions and

its failure to do so has worked a prejudice upon Petitioners.

     The issue  of travel  expenses currently weighs heavily upon

Petitioners, which  issue was  amply explained  in Their Petition

for leave to appear in writing (June 17, 1996).

     Moreover, Petitioners  have  not  received  the  information

requested by  Their FOIA  request to the United States Department

of Justice,  a copy  of which was provided to this Court in Their

REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL NOTICE AND NOTICE OF SAME.

     This Court's  Order, dated  July 22,  1996, and  finding all

subsequent pleadings  to be  frivolous,  was  predicated  upon  a

failure by  Petitioners to  "appear" as ordered on July 22, 1996,

at 10:30  o'clock a.m.  in the  courtroom of  the Garfield County

Courthouse.   Petitioners previously  provided formal  notice  to

this honorable  Court of Their intent to appear, and respectfully

requested leave  to  appear  in  writing,  as  opposed  to  being

physically present,  for the  several  reasons  stated  in  Their

Petition to  that end.   An  answer constitutes  an "appearance";

cf. Black's Law Dictionary, Revised Fourth Edition.

     Finally, Petitioners have previously requested clarification

from this  honorable Court of its Order dated May 31, 1996.  Said

clarification is  a prerequisite  to providing  this  Court  with

proof of its jurisdiction over the instant case.


                        RELIEF REQUESTED

     Accordingly, Petitioners  hereby respectfully  request  that

this honorable  Court reconsider  its Order  dated July 22, 1996,

and rule  on the  two Petitions  previously filed  in the instant

case, but not yet decided.


                  Petition for Reconsideration:
