STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

WITHDRAWING MOTION TO BIFURCATE WITHOUT PREJUDICE 

STIPULATION

WHEREAS: 

 On May 22, 2006, Defendant Visa International Service Association ("Visa International") 

filed a Motion to Bifurcate Issues of Liability and Willfulness and Damages and for Stay of 

Discovery, and; 

 On June 16, 2006, counsel for the parties met and conferred informally to resolve a number 

of discovery issues related to Plaintiff Cryptography Research, Inc.'s ("CRI") Motion to Compel 

Visa to Make Individuals Available for Deposition, Produce Documents, and Answer 

Interrogatories and agreed that Visa International will withdraw its Motion to Bifurcate Issues of 

Liability and Willfulness and Damages and for Stay of Discovery. Because Visa International has 

agreed to produce CRI’s requested damages discovery, its request for the stay of discovery related 

to damages is moot. Insofar as the motion sought bifurcation of liability from damages or 

willfulness at trial, Visa International withdraws that portion of its motion without prejudice to its 

right to refile prior to trial. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Visa International and CRI, 

through their respective counsel of record, as follows: 

 Visa International hereby withdraws its Motion to Bifurcate Issues of Liability and 

Willfulness and Damages and for Stay of Discovery, AND THE June 26, 2006 hearing on the 

motion shall be taken off calendar.
