MAGMA’S ADMIN. MOT. TO FILE UNDER SEAL 

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

C-04-03923 MMC

M. Puckett (“Puckett Declaration”) in Support of Magma’s Opposition to MIL 4. This Motion 

for Leave to File Under Seal is supported by the Declaration of Nora M. Puckett submitted 

herewith.

Magma’s Opposition to MIL 4 relies in part on testimony and documents that contain 

confidential business or trade secret information of Magma, Synopsys, and/or IBM and/or have 

been designated as Confidential or Attorneys and Consultants Only under the Stipulated 

Protective Order. Pursuant to the Stipulated Protective Order, Magma seeks to file the following 

documents and testimony under seal: 

1. Portions of Magma’s Opposition to MIL 4 contain Magma’s, Synopsys’s, and/or 

IBM’s confidential business or trade secret information and are properly sealable. 

2. Exhibits 1 and 3 to the Declaration of Nora M. Puckett consist of excerpts from the 

deposition transcripts of Raul Camposano and Synopsys, respectively. Synopsys designated 

these transcripts as Attorneys and Consultants Only pursuant to the Stipulated Protective Order 

because it believes these transcripts contain Synopsys confidential information and are properly 

sealable. 

3. Exhibits 2, 4, and 5 to the Declaration of Nora M. Puckett consist of documents 

produced by IBM. IBM designated these documents as Attorneys and Consultants Only pursuant 

to the Stipulated Protective Order because it believes these documents contain IBM confidential 

information and are properly sealable. 

 Accordingly, this motion is made on the grounds that portions of Magma’s Opposition to 

MIL 4 and the entirety of Exhibits 1-5 to the Puckett Declaration contain confidential business or 

trade secret information of Magma, Synopsys, and/or IBM and are properly sealable.
