ORDER PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. P. 26(C) 

CASE NO. C-01-0988-MJJ(JCS) 

On January 27, 2006, the parties in the above-captioned matter appeared before the Court 

concerning Defendants’ Motion for a Protective Order. The parties were represented by counsel 

of record. Having considered the parties’ submissions and agreement: 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. Defendants’ Motion for a Protective Order is withdrawn without prejudice. 

2. Defendants will review the two boxes of audit documents produced to the Court by 

Arthur Andersen LLP (“Andersen”) on January 26, 2006 in order to determine whether there are 

any documents relating to: (1) the debit memo transactions alleged in Plaintiffs’ Revised Second 

Amended Complaint (RSAC); (2) the accounting treatment of the 46,000 debit memo 

transactions; and (3) tax advisory services provided to Messrs. Henley and Ellison relating to 

FY2001. March 10, 2005 Amended Order Setting A Discovery Plan at 8, 9. 

3. On or before January 29, 2006, Plaintiffs will provide Defendants with a list of all 

cross-references in the documents bearing Bates labels AA 000001 through AA 000051 that 

Plaintiffs believe may refer or relate to information that is responsive to the criteria from the 

Discovery Plan set forth in paragraph 2. 

4. Defendants will produce all documents responsive to the criteria from the 

Discovery Plan set forth in paragraph 2 by Tuesday, January 31, 2006. 

5. For purposes of this Order and pursuant to the scope of discovery set forth in 

Section III(e) of the Discovery Plan, Plaintiffs may take the deposition of one former employee of 

Andersen who was a member of the audit team from Andersen that performed audit work for 

Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) during FY2001 in order to obtain an explanation of the documents 

produced from Andersen’s files (including the meaning of the handwritten notes on those 

documents), and the scope of Andersen’s professional services for Oracle related to subsections 1, 

2 and 3 stated above in Paragraph 2. Prior to deposition, the former Andersen employee (with 

independent counsel) shall have an opportunity to review all of the audit documents produced to 

the Court by Andersen. Plaintiffs and Defendants shall evenly split the costs of the witness’ time 

preparing for and attending the deposition and for the witness’ attorney’s fees.
