ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE

DOCUMENT UNDER SEAL;

DIRECTIONS TO CLERK; DIRECTIONS

TO PLAINTIFF

Before the Court is the Supplemental Declaration of Judith S. H. Hom, filed May 14,

2007, submitted in support of the deferred portion of plaintiff’s administrative motion, filed

April 17, 2007, by which plaintiff seeks leave to file certain documents under seal.

Having reviewed said declaration, the Court finds that the portions of documents

identified by defendants therein as confidential are sealable. Accordingly, the deferred

portion of plaintiff’s motion is hereby GRANTED, and the Clerk is DIRECTED to file under

seal the unredacted version of “Confidential Letter and Supporting Exhibits to the

Declaration of Kenneth E. Krosin in Support of Plaintiff Nichia Corporation’s Motion for

Reconsideration Supplemental.”

In that regard, however, defendants do not assert that the entirety of the subject

letter and supporting exhibits are confidential. Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby DIRECTED to

file in the public record, no later than May 21, 2007, a redacted version of said letter and

plaintiff fails to timely file such redacted version of the letter and supporting exhibits, the

Court will strike the unredacted version thereof from the record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
