IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SYNOPSYS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

MAGMA DESIGN AUTOMATION, INC.,

Defendant.

 /

No. C-04-3923 MMC

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART MAGMA’S

AMENDED ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION

TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

RELATING TO ITS REPLY IN SUPPORT

OF ITS MOTION FOR SUMMARY

JUDGMENT

(Docket No. 316)

Before the Court is the amended administrative motion filed July 15, 2005 by

defendant Magma Design Automation, Inc. (“Magma”) to file under seal certain documents

relating to its reply brief in support of its motion for summary judgment. To date, no

response to the motion has been filed by plaintiff Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys”).

Magma has shown good cause for filing the requested portions of the following

documents under seal: unredacted Exhibits EEE and HHH to the Declaration of Luann

Simmons (“Simmons Declaration”).

Magma argues that the following documents, which were designated confidential by

Synopsys, are not, in fact, confidential and should not be filed under seal: Exhibits DDD

and FFF to the Simmons Declaration and the portions of Magma’s reply brief that quote

those exhibits.

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5(d), when a party wishes to file a document that has been

designated confidential by another party, the submitting party must file an administrative

motion for a sealing order. See Civil L.R. 79-5(d). The designating party then must either

serve a declaration within five days establishing that the designated information is sealable

or withdraw the designation of confidentiality. See Civil L.R. 79-5(d). “If the designating

party does not file its responsive declaration . . . the document or proposed filing will be

made part of the public record.” See id. As Synopsys has not filed a response to Magma’s

motion, Magma shall electronically file the disputed documents in the public record.

For the reasons set forth above, Magma’s motion is hereby GRANTED in part and

DENIED in part, as follows:

1. The following documents shall be filed under seal: the unredacted Exhibits EEE

and HHH to the Simmons Declaration.

2. Magma shall electronically file the following documents in the public record: 

Exhibits DDD and FFF to the Simmons Declaration and Magma’s reply in support of its

motion for summary judgment.

This order terminates Docket No. 316.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 25, 2005
