case. Based upon this motion and the Declaration filed by Plaintiff VNUS Medical Technologies, 

Inc. (“VNUS”), pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d), and good cause appearing therefore, Diomed’s 

Joint Motion for Administrative Relief to File Documents Under Seal is GRANTED in part, 

specifically, the Clerk is directed to file under seal unredacted versions of the following documents: 

• Exhibits KK, MM, and OO to the Declaration of Charles Steenburg in Support of 

Defendants' Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity Under 

35 U.S.C. §§ 102-103; and 

• Defendants' Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity Under 

35 U.S.C. §§ 102-103. 

With respect to Exhibit KK, only a portion of said exhibit is, for the reasons stated by VNUS, 

properly filed under seal. Accordingly, Diomed’s motion is DENIED to the extent Diomed seeks 

leave to file the entirety of Exhibit KK under seal. If Diomed wishes the Court to consider the 

portion of Exhibit KK not designated as confidential by VNUS, specifically, any portion other than 

page 45:3-25, Diomed is DIRECTED to electronically file in the public record such portion(s) no 

later than September 25, 2007. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
