unredacted versions of “Hewlett-Packard’s Opposition to MMCA’s Motion in Limine No. 2”

and the “Declaration of Erin A. Smart in Support of Defendant Hewlett-Packard’s

Oppositions to MMCA’s Motions in Limine Nos. 1-7” (“Smart Declaration”), the motion is

seal. Accordingly, the Clerk is DIRECTED to file said documents under seal.

2. Because MMCA has not asserted that Exhibits 1-10 and 19-21 to the Smart

Declaration are confidential or otherwise should be filed under seal, Hewlett-Packard is

hereby DIRECTED to file said exhibits in the public record, no later than March 8, 2010.

3. To the extent the administrative motion seeks leave to file under seal the

unredacted versions of “Hewlett-Packard’s Opposition to MMCA’s Motion in Limine No. 3”

and “Hewlett-Packard’s Opposition to MMCA’s Motion in Limine No. 4,” the motion is

hereby DENIED, for the reason MMCA, in its supporting declaration, has not asserted

those documents include any information properly filed under seal. Accordingly, the Clerk

is DIRECTED to file in the public record the unredacted versions of said documents.

4. To the extent MMCA, in its supporting declaration, seeks an order removing from

the public record Exhibits 11-18 to the Smart Declaration,1

 the Court hereby DENIES

MMCA’s request, for the reason MMCA has not shown that any of those exhibits contains

information that discloses any of MMCA’s confidential material.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
