IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ACTIVISION PUBLISHING, INC.,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

JOHN TAM, et al.,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 07-3536 MEJ

ORDER RE: POTENTIAL INDEMNITY

ACTIONS

On September 13, 2007, counsel for Defendants John Tam, Corey Fong, and Jamie Yang

filed a letter requesting permission to file motions for good faith settlement determinations. Despite

the Court's previous entry of judgment and closing of this matter, counsel states that there is a

potential that certain defendants will seek indemnity actions against Tam, Fong, and Yang. As all

defendants entered into settlement agreements with Plaintiff Activision Publishing, Inc., and all

defendants entered into those agreements with the understanding that they are liable for their

respective settlements, it is unclear that further motions are necessary. Accordingly, the Court

ORDERS all defendants to file statements by September 27, 2007 regarding any potential indemnity

actions in this matter. In their statements, the parties shall state whether they will seek indemnity

from any named defendant(s) related to their respective settlement agreements. If any party is

unable to state that it will not seek indemnity, the Court shall consider re-opening this matter and

order that all defendants file motions for good faith settlement determinations. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
