ORDER RE IN CAMERA

INSPECTION OF SETTLEMENT

AGREEMENT

The Court has now reviewed in camera the Netflix-Blockbuster settlement agreement

submitted under seal. The agreement has conventional license terms and has no term that

restricts production, fixes prices, allocates territories or customers or in any other way even

arguably could be deemed anticompetitive. Therefore, defendant Netflix need not produce it for

inspection and copying and the motion to compel its production is DENIED, given the legitimate

need of Netflix and Blockbuster to maintain its confidentiality. To allow for appellate review,

the copy submitted shall be filed under seal by the Clerk in an envelope marked “NetflixBlockbuster Settlement Agreement Filed Under Seal.” 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 23, 2007. WILLIAM ALSUP
