MAGMA’S ADMIN. MOT. TO FILE UNDER SEAL 

DOCUMENTS RE: MOTION FOR LEAVE FILE 

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION C-04-03923 MMC

Magma Design Automation, Inc. (“Magma”) hereby moves pursuant to Civil Local Rule 

79-5 for leave to file under seal portions of Magma’s Memorandum of Points and Authorities in 

Support of Defendant Magma’s Motion for Leave to File Motion for Reconsideration and the 

entirety of Exhibits 3-5, 10-12 and 14-16 to the Declaration of Anne E. Huffsmith in Support of 

Defendant Magma’s Motion for Leave to File Motion for Reconsideration (“Magma’s Motion 

For Leave”). This motion is supported by the Declaration of Anne E. Huffsmith submitted 

herewith.

Magma’s Motion For Leave relies in part on testimony and documents that contain highly 

confidential business, trade secret or personal identifying information or have been designated as 

confidential under a Stipulated Protective Order. Pursuant to the request of Synopsys, Inc. and 

resulting agreement and pursuant to a Stipulated Protective Order with third party International 

Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), Magma seeks to file the following documents and 

testimony under seal: 

1. Portions of Magma’s Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of 

Defendant Magma’s Motion for Leave to File Motion for Reconsideration contain Magma’s, 

Synopsys’s and/or IBM’s confidential business, trade secret or personal identifying information 

and are properly sealable. 

2. Exhibits 5, 11 15, and 16 to the Huffsmith Declaration are documents produced by 

Synopsys in this action and designated by Synopsys as Attorneys and Consultants Only under the 

Stipulated Protective Order because they contain confidential business or trade secret information 

of Synopsys and/or IBM and are properly sealable. 

3. Exhibits 3, 4 and 10 to the Huffsmith Declaration consist of excerpts from the 

deposition Synopsys’s 30(b)(6) designee, Narendra Shenoy, Raul Camposano and Antun 

Dominic taken in this action and designated by Synopsys as Attorneys and Consultants Only 

under the Stipulated Protective Order because they contain confidential business or trade secret 

information of Synopsys and/or IBM and are properly sealable.

4. Exhibit 12 to the Huffsmith Declaration is a document produced by Magma in this 

action and designated by Magma as Attorneys and Consultants Only under the Stipulated 

Protective Order because it contains confidential business or trade secret information of Magma 

and/or IBM and is properly sealable. 

5. Exhibit 14 to the Huffsmith Declaration consists of a letter from Esther La to 

Christopher Catalano dated October 20, 2005. That letter discloses the name of a third party 

whose identity Synopsys has asserted is confidential business information. 

Accordingly, this motion is made on the grounds that portions of Magma’s Memorandum 

of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendant Magma’s Motion for Leave to File Motion for 

Reconsideration and the entirety of Exhibits 3-5, 10-12 and 14-16 to the Declaration of Anne E. 

Huffsmith in Support of Defendant Magma’s Motion for Leave contain highly confidential
