Chesney) as provided by 28 U.S.C. §636(b) and Civil Local Rule 72.

The Court heard oral argument August 16, 2006 on a number of discovery disputes

and resolved some of them at the hearing. The Court has since heard oral argument on a

number of additional disputes and been advised by the parties that they have resolved 

others. However, some of the disputes discussed at the August 16 hearing remain to be

documents including those generated after July 2005. Defendants fail to justify restricting

documents to those generated after Dr. Miller signed a consulting contract with Orthoclear.

With respect to Align’s administrative motion seeking modification of the Pre-Trial

Order to Permit Additional Depositions and Interrogatories (Docket Number 90), this motion

is denied without prejudice, subject to renewal following the deposition of Dr. Miller.

With respect to Align’s Motion to Compel Miller, Liu, Chisti and Wen to consent to

production of emails from a Microsoft email account (Docket Number 115), the individuals

whose emails are sought shall produce them as stipulated by the parties for the Yahoo!

accounts of Peter Riepenhausen and Frank Liu.

With respect to Align’s Motion to Compel Miller, Liu, Chisti and Wen to consent to

production of emails from two Yahoo! Email accounts, the Court assumes that this issue is

resolved as to Mr. Liu, as confirmed by the parties at the hearing on August 30, and hereby

orders that the email accounts of Chisti and Wen be subject to the same stipulation as the

account of Mr. Liu.

Compliance with the above shall be due forthwith but no later than five days from the

e-filing of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 31, 2006
