Plaintiff Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands, B.V. (“HGST”) moves the Court for

leave to file under seal documents lodged with the Court on February 14, 2006. The lodged

documents contain information regarding highly confidential agreements and communications that

documents in this action that contain or refer to information designated by a party as

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential—Counsel Eyes Only” must be filed under seal.

evidence and argument as may be presented to the Court.
