UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NICHIA CORPORATION, No. C-06-00162 MMC (JCS)

Plaintiff(s),

ORDER RE MOTION TO COMPEL

v.

SEOUL SEMICONDUCTOR, LTD., 

ET AL.,

(E-FILING CASES)

Defendant(s).

___________________________________/

The Court has received a joint letter dated December 21, 2007, from Plaintiff and Defendants

(the “Motion”). The Motion is appropriate for decision without oral argument. Good cause

appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

Defendants shall produce all invoices from the law firms of Bingham McCutcheon LLP and

the Law offices of Jennifer Lee Jonak reflecting attorneys’ fees charged for the defense of

Defendants in this matter. The hours billed by, and the rates charged by, Defendants’ counsel may

be relevant to a determination of whether or not the fees sought by Plaintiff in this matter are

reasonable. Plaintiff is entitled to have this information before it files its motion for attorneys’ fees.

From these invoices, Defendants may redact all information covered by the attorney-client

privilege or the attorney work product doctrine. The Court notes that it does not consider the fact

that counsel may have spent a particular period of time working on a particular motion, deposition,

hearing or other event to be attorney work product.

These invoices shall be produced no later than February 1, 2008.
