IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LASER DESIGN INTERNATIONAL, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 vs.

BJ CRYSTAL, INC., et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 03-1179 JSW (MEJ)

ORDER CLARIFYING "ORDER

GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING

IN PART PLAINTIFFS' MOTION

FOR SANCTIONS"

On November 18, 2005, the Court ordered defendants Vitro Laser GmbH and Cerion GmbH

("Defendants") to appear for second depositions "in the United States at Defendants' expense." 

Docket #273. The parties now seek clarification as to what this Court means by "at Defendants'

expense." Accordingly, the Court hereby clarifies as follows: Defendants shall pay all expenses

related to the depositions with the exception of attorneys' fees incurred by Plaintiffs in the preparing

for and taking of these renewed depositions. However, should Defendants, and specifically

Defendants' counsel, act in a similar manner during these renewed depositions as they did during the

first depositions, the Court shall impose additional sanctions in the form of attorney's fees and costs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 13, 2006
