ORDER RE: CONVERSION DATE

[Re Docket Nos. 79, 80]

On October 2, 2007, the court re-opened this case and required defendant Supermicro

Computer, Inc. ("Supermicro") to post a bond. At the hearing, the parties indicated that they would

work out the details of the bond. Unable to fully agree, the parties ask the court to determine what

the conversion date for the bond amount should be. Plaintiff Carri Systems, a d/b/a of Digitechnic,

S.A. ("Digitechnic") asks the court to set the conversion date to be the date preceding the posting of

the bond; Supermicro contends that the conversion date should be the date of judgment.
