              Re: Global Discovery Biosciences Corp. v. Harrington, et al., Civil
              Action No. 2022-1132-SG

Dear Counsel:

      This brief Letter Opinion memorializes my August 17, 2023 bench ruling in

which I denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss with respect to Counts VIII, I, II, V,

and VI without prejudice to Defendants’ ability to argue that the latter four counts

are partially preempted by the Delaware Uniform Trade Secrets Act.

      As I requested, the parties should submit brief supplemental memorandum

regarding the basis of the bankruptcy court’s consideration of the bad faith of Global

Discovery’s bankruptcy filing, by the end of business day on August 23, 2023. The

motion to dismiss will be fully submitted upon receipt of these supplemental

memorandum.
    To the extent the foregoing requires an Order to take effect, IT IS SO

ORDERED.

                                       Sincerely,

                                       /s/ Sam Glasscock III
                                       Vice Chancellor

                                   2
