v.

MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC., and

MICRON SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS,

INC.

Defendants.

No. C-06-00244 RMW

Today, April 8, 2008, the court's clerk received a call from an individual who stated he had

received a fax consisting of 116 pages of the completed juror questionnaires from this case. The

caller, who gave his name, fax number and telephone number to the court, stated that he has no

connection with the case. The fax apparently had no fax cover sheet but at the top of the page was a

fax number ((415) 773-0330) perhaps associated with the sender. The court's investigation suggests

that the fax number belongs to the jury consulting firm Bonora D'Andrea, LLC, 115 Sansome Street,

Suite 1125, San Francisco, CA 94104, and that the firm has been retained by most of the law firms

involved in this litigation at some point.

The court's instructions on the questionnaires distributed to the prospective jurors stated:

"[t]he information you provide may be shared with attorneys for the parties, but will otherwise be

maintained as confidential absent further court order and advance notice to you." This language was

agreed to by all parties. The court has made no order authorizing the release of these questionnaires

and has not released any itself. The court is concerned that the representation to the prospective

jurors has been breached. 

The court hereby orders each law firm to do an internal investigation as to the cause of this

apparent breach and report the results of that investigation to the court within five days of this order.

DATED: 4/8/2008
