The parties have resolved their dispute regarding the definition of “expert.” Accordingly, the

only issue remaining is whether Plaintiffs may show confidential documents produced by Defendants

to former Harmonic employees. The Court concludes that confidential documents may be shown to

former Harmonic employees whom Plaintiffs have a good-faith reasonable belief may have relevant

information and who have signed the Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order.

This order disposes of Docket No. 258.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August ____, 2007
