ORDER RE: FAIRCHILD’S MOTION TO

FILE UNDER SEAL PORTIONS OF ITS

MOTION TO EXCLUDE ARTHUR W.

KELLEY AND CHARLES L. COLBY,

AND SUPPORTING EXHIBITS;

DIRECTIONS TO FAIRCHILD

Before the Court is an administrative motion to file under seal, filed September 4,

2015, by defendants Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Fairchild Semiconductor

Corporation, and Fairchild Corporation (collectively, “Fairchild”), pursuant to Civil Local

Rule 79-5, by which Fairchild seeks permission to seal the entirety of Exhibits A - C and F

to the Declaration of Christina A. Ondrick (“Ondrick Declaration”) filed in support of

“Fairchild’s Motion to Exclude the Opinions and Testimony of Arthur W. Kelley and Charles

L. Colby,” as well as portions of Fairchild’s motion that refer to said exhibits. According to

Fairchild, all of the material sought to be sealed has been designated confidential by

plaintiff Power Integrations, Inc. (“Power Integrations”).

By order filed October 20, 2015, the Court deferred ruling on the administrative

motion to the extent it sought to seal the entirety of Exhibits A and B to the Declaration of

To the extent the administrative motion sought to seal the entirety of Exhibit C to

the Ondrick Declaration and related portions of the Motion to Exclude, the Court granted

the motion, and to the extent the administrative motion sought to seal Exhibit F to the

Ondrick Declaration and related portions of the Motion to Exclude, the Court denied the

motion.

Christina Ondrick (“Ondrick Declaration”) and related portions of the Motion to Exclude.1

By the same order, the Court directed Power Integrations to file a supplemental response

identifying the portions of said exhibits and motion that contain Power Integrations’s

confidential information. 

On November 3, 2015, Power Integrations timely filed its supplemental response. 

Having read and considered the supplemental response, the Court hereby rules as follows.

Power Integrations’s supplemental response does not address Exhibit B to the

Ondrick Declaration nor does it address the portions of the Motion to Exclude that refer to

either Exhibit A or Exhibit B. Accordingly, to the extent the administrative motion seeks

permission to seal Exhibit B and said portions of the Motion to Exclude, the administrative

motion is hereby DENIED, and Fairchild is hereby DIRECTED to file in the public record, no

later than February 2, 2016, Exhibit B to the Ondrick Declaration and a version of the

Motion to Exclude in which only those portions that reference Exhibit C to the Ondrick

Declaration are redacted.

As to Exhibit A, the Court finds good cause to seal those portions of said exhibit that

Power Integrations, in its supplemental response, has identified as sealable material. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS the administrative motion to the extent it seeks to

seal portions of Exhibit A to the Ondrick Declaration, and Fairchild is hereby DIRECTED to

file in the public record, no later than February 2, 2016, a version of said exhibit in which

Power Integrations’s confidential material, as identified in its supplemental response, is

redacted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 26, 2016
