The hearing on Defendants Resect Medical, Inc.’s and Steven Daniel’s Letter Briefs 

regarding certain discovery disputes was held on October 19, 2006 at 1:30 p.m., in Courtroom 9 of 

the above-entitled Court, the Honorable William H. Alsup, Judge presiding. 

 After considering the letter briefs, arguments of counsel and all other matters presented to 

the court, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. Rita Medical Systems, Inc. (“Rita”) shall produce all communications with 

the two testifying experts to Defendants by Tuesday, October 24, 2006. If there are any 

communications that Rita maintains are not relevant, Rita must file a declaration attaching 

the documents and explaining the basis for withholding the communications by Tuesday, 

October 24, 2006. Rita shall serve a copy of the declaration on Defendants without the 

documents. 

2. Rita shall produce the documents bates-labeled RMS 026021-026031 and 

any additional documents that Rita represented to the Court were the same by October 30, 

2006.

3. Rita shall produce all licensing and/or distribution agreements that Rita has 

entered into with third parties referring or relating to ablation devices by October 30, 2006. 

4. Rita shall produce all board minutes that refer or relate to resection devices 

by October 30, 2006. Rita shall further send a letter stating that all board minutes referring 

or relating to resection devices have been produced. Defendants are entitled to instruct the 

jury that the board minutes that are produced by Rita are the only board minutes referring 

or relating to resection devices. 

5. Rita shall produce documents sufficient to show revenues and expenses for 

the Habib device on a quarterly basis by October 30, 2006. If Rita is unable to compile 

such documents from Rita’s accounting system, Rita may supply the figures by letter to the 

extent that it is possible to calculate these figures and not unduly burdensome to do so. If 

Rita is unable to calculate these figures or if such calculations will be unduly burdensome, 

Rita shall so inform Resect in a letter indicating the reasons why such calculations are not 

possible and/or unduly burdensome.
