ORDER RE PARTIES’ JOINT LETTER

OF JANUARY 17, 2006

Having considered the joint letter lodged with the Court on January 17, 2006 regarding the

parties’ dispute over Defendant’s responses to Plaintiff’s request for production of documents, and

good cause appearing therefor, the Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion.

As to Set One, there is no objection to the request. Defendant shall by 5:00 p.m., January 23,

2006 update its response and provide all responsive documents within its possession, custody or

control and/or state that it has produced all such documents.

As to Request No. 2, Defendant shall produce all Monthly Management Reports as requested

by Plaintiffs. Defendant shall also produce all documents which refer, describe, or accompanied

those reports. Defendant may redact from these Reports and documents only those portions which

have no relationship whatsoever the on-board battery chargers. No redaction shall be permitted

litigation counsel may be present. Said portion of the deposition transcript shall remain for

attorneys’ eyes only until further order. Defendant will file under seal with the Court unredacted

copies of these documents showing all redactions.

As to Request Nos. 3 and 12, Defendant shall produce under the same protective order as

above, all documents responsive to the requests which are already limited to those which relate to

on-board battery chargers.

These documents shall be produced by 5:00 p.m. on January 23, 2006.

The Court finds that as the order for production has been narrowed herein, any trade secret

required to be produced consistent with this order is relevant to the issues in the case and necessary

to their resolution, and that in view of the protective order required herein, the risk of injury

resulting from such disclosure is outweighed by the litigation needs of this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
