letter dated April 12, 2006. I see no need for further

briefing or argument. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that either the

protective order is amended by the inclusion of Paragraph 25

in its entirety, including the language at the top of Page 2

of Document #192, or the parties act in accordance with the

existing protective order. It does not appear unreasonable

for plaintiffs to obtain Nova's consent before Nova's Highly

Confidential information is produced in litigation other than

that to which Nova is a party.
