SAN JOSE DIVISION

The Regents of the University of California,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Micro Therapeutics, Inc. and Dendron GmbH,

Defendants. /

NO. C 03-05669 JW 

ORDER RE: DEFENDANTS’

OBJECTION TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE

SEEBORG’S ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL

Before the Court is Defendants’ Objection to and Motion for Review of Magistrate Judge

Seeborg’s Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel and Request for Stay. (See Docket Item No.

868.) On August 9, 2007, Magistrate Judge Seeborg granted Plaintiff’s motion to compel

Defendants to produce attorney billing records reflecting the attorney fees Defendants has incurred

in the defense of this action. (hereafter, “Order,” Docket Item No. 853.) Judge Seeborg found that

since Defendants have identified those fees as the sole basis of their damages under their antitrust

counterclaims, the production of the records with good-faith redactions of privilege is appropriate. 

(Order at 1-2.)

In light of the Court’s August 22, 2007 Order granting, inter alia, Plaintiff’s motion for

summary judgment on Defendants’ antitrust counterclaims, the billing records sought by Plaintiff

are no longer relevant. Accordingly, the Court VACATES Judge Seeborg’s August 9, 2007 Order to

Compel. To the extent Plaintiff believes that Defendants’ attorney billing records are relevant to

other damages claimed, Plaintiff may renew its motion before Judge Seeborg.
