ORDER PROVISIONALLY GRANTING

SYNOPSYS’ AND CUSTOMER

DEFENDANTS’ ADMINISTRATIVE

MOTION FOR A SEALING ORDER

(Docket No. 343 in No. C-03-2289; 

Docket No. 480 in No. C-03-4669)

Synopsys and the Customer Defendants have filed an administrative motion, asking that

Exhibits 1-3 of the De Mory Declaration be filed under seal. Such documents have been designated

confidential by Ricoh.

Based on the Court’s review of the documents at issue, the Court questions whether the

documents at issue contain confidential information justifying a filing under seal. The Court

therefore orders Ricoh to file a declaration explaining why there is good cause to seal the exhibits. 

The declaration shall be filed on or before June 23, 2006. Said declaration may be filed under seal.

In the meantime, the Court will provisionally grant Synopsys and the Customer Defendants’ request,

pending receipt of the declaration and final ruling thereon.

Accordingly, the Court hereby provisionally GRANTS the request to file under seal and

orders that Exhibits 1-3 attached to the De Mory Declaration be filed under seal.

The Court further orders Ricoh to file under seal a declaration as described above on or

before June 23, 2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
