ORDER AMENDING PRECEDENTIAL OPINION

AMBRO, Circuit Judge

It is now ordered that the published Opinion in the above case filed July 17,

2007, be amended as follows:

On page 7, in footnote 1, insert “The” before “Righteous Brothers”; add

apostrophes to the words “Lovin’ ” and “Feelin’ ”; and include the word “Records” in the

parenthetical after “Phillies” so that the footnote reads as follows:

The Righteous Brothers, You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, on YOU’VE LOST THAT

LOVIN’ FEELIN’ (Phillies Records 1965).

On page 19, in the fifteenth line, replace the comma between “law” and

“and” with a semicolon, so that the line reads as follows:

as a matter of law; and (3) even the documents that fell outside

On page 21, in the twenty-first line, delete the alteration “[s]” in the quote,

so that the full quote reads as follows:
4

“Delaware courts look to the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws for

guidance in choice of law disputes.”

On page 22, in the thirteenth line, the word “Conflicts” in the source name

should be “Conflict,” so that the full citation reads as follows:

RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONFLICT OF LAWS § 139 (1971).

On page 23, in the ninth line, the word “Conflicts” in the source name

should be “Conflict,” so that the full citation reads as follows:

RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONFLICT OF LAWS § 139 cmts. c & d.

On page 36, in the twelfth line, the period should be a comma, so that the

full line reads as follows:

proper “community of interest,” whether the context be criminal

On page 37, in the fifth line, a section symbol should be inserted, so that the

first citation reads as follows: RICE § 4:35

On page 43, in the twentieth line, insert a comma and periods in the

abbreviation “L.L.P.” so that the citation reads as follows:

Trenwick Am. Litig. Trust v. Ernst & Young, L.L.P., 906 A.2d 168, 192 (Del. Ch.

2006).

On page 45, in the thirteenth line, insert a second closing parenthesis before

the period, so that the twelfth and thirteenth lines read as follows:

(emphasis in original) (internal citations and quotation marks

omitted)).

On page 49, in the third line, a section symbol should be inserted, so that

the second citation reads as follows: RICE § 4:33.

On page 50, in the third line, insert “and” between “Securities” and

“Exchange.”

On page 56, in the first line, “Comm’n” should be changed to

“Commission.”
5

On page 67, in the first line of footnote 33, “Fifth” should be changed to

“Federal,” so that the full line reads as follows:

As the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has noted,

On page 69, in the sixteenth line, “app. A01110” should be changed to

“App. at A01110”

On page 69, in the nineteenth and twentieth lines, delete the closing

parenthesis after “interest.” and insert a second closing parenthesis after “added” so that

the two lines read as follows:

(or its subsidiaries) shared a common legal interest.” (emphases

added)). To the extent that BCE admitted that it was obligated

On page 72, in the seventh line, replace “an” with “a.”

On page 88, in the third line, delete “an.”

On page 91, in the fourth line, the word “Conflicts” in the source name

should be “Conflict,” so that the full citation reads as follows:

RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONFLICT OF LAWS § 306.

By the Court,

/s/ Thomas L. Ambro, Circuit Judge

Dated: October 12, 2007
