ORDER ON MOTIONS TO FILE

DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

Re: Docket Nos. 

374, 385, 411, 415, and 431

Cryptography Research, Inc. ("CRI") sues Visa International Service Association

("Visa") for patent infringement, breach of contract, and misrepresentation. On December 21,

2007, Visa moved to compel production of certain discovery from CRI. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5 and 7-11, both parties and an interested third party moved

to file under seal certain documents associated with that motion. The original sealing requests

did not contain the proper supporting declarations. Accordingly, at the January 29, 2008

hearing on the motion to compel, the parties were ordered to file supplemental declarations. 

Based on the parties' responses, the court orders as follows:
