[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING AGA’S ADMIN REQUEST TO

FILE UNDER SEAL (LACHES MIL OPP.)

CASE NO. 3:07-cv-00567 MMC (EMC)

On December 2, 2009, Defendant AGA Medical Corporation (“AGA”) filed AGA’s

Opposition to Medtronic’s Motion in Limine No. 13 to Preclude AGA from Calling Any Witnesses

at Trial in Support of Its Laches Defense. AGA filed an Administrative Request to file its

Opposition under Seal and a supporting declaration, stating that the Opposition refers to AGA

confidential business information. The confidential information cited in AGA’s Opposition includes

the amount AGA expended on clinical trials from 2002 through 2007 and is of a highly sensitive

nature. Moreover, the Court previously granted AGA’s request to seal documents including this

information. See Dkt. No. 420. For the reasons stated in AGA’s administrative request and

declaration, it is hereby ordered that page 9, lines 12-13 of AGA’s Opposition shall be filed under

seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
