SHARP CORPORATION,

Plaintiff,

 v.

AU OPTRONICS CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants /

No. C-03-4244 MMC ARB

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS TO

LODGE CHAMBERS COPIES IN

COMPLIANCE WITH GENERAL

ORDER 45 AND THE COURT’S

STANDING ORDERS; NOTICE OF

SANCTIONS TO BE IMPOSED IN EVENT

OF FURTHER VIOLATIONS

On June 15, 2005, defendants electronically filed their Supplemental Submission on

Claim Construction and a declaration in support thereof. Defendants have violated General

Order 45 and the Court’s Standing Orders, however, by failing to deliver to the Clerk’s

Office “no later than noon on the business day following the day that the papers are filed

electronically, one paper copy of each document that is filed electronically . . . marked

‘Chambers Copy’ and . . . clearly marked with the judge’s name, case number, and

‘Chambers Copy-Do Not File.’” See General Order 45 § VII.G; see also Standing Orders

For Civil Cases Assigned to The Honorable Maxine M. Chesney ¶ 2. Further, defendants’

failure to provide chambers copies of the above-referenced documents makes preparation

for the July 1, 2005 hearing unnecessarily burdensome.

Defendants are hereby ORDERED to comply with General Order 45 and the Court’s

Standing Orders by immediately submitting chambers copies of the above-referenced

document. Because defendants have been previously advised, in writing, of a similar

failure to comply with General Order 45 and the Court’s Standing Orders, the Court hereby

gives defendants notice that in the event of future failures to comply with the requirement to

provide chambers copies of electronically-filed documents, the Court will impose sanctions

including the striking from the record any electronically-filed document of which a chambers

copy has not been timely provided to the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
