Doc. 597

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL Case No. Title CV 04-9484-AHM (SHx) Date November 2, 2009

Perfect 10, Inc., v. Goggle Inc., et al.,

Present: The Honorable Sandra Butler Deputy Clerk

Stephen J. Hillman

Court Reporter / Recorder

Tape No.

Attorneys Present for Plaintiffs: N/A Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS)

Attorneys Present for Defendants: N/A

Google's Request for Clarification Re October 6, 2009 Order: The Court adopted Perfect 10's proposed Order, specifically the language that "Perfect 10 is not required to produce any information about any settlements with third parties, other than the date, payor, and amount of any such settlement payments, and may redact settlement information it is not required to produce." The Court adopted the above language with the understanding, perhaps incorrect, that Google, at least by the time of the hearing on the Motion, was not truly seeking the full confidential settlement agreements in other Perfect 10 cases, bur rather was satisfied with the limited information which the court ordered. At the present time, the court will confirm the language and intent of the Order quoted above. Actual settlement agreements between Perfect 10 and third parties need not be produced. If Google wishes to formally move to discover confidential settlement agreements, it is at least now informed of this Court's analysis of this issue, as set forth in the July 21, 2003 Minute Order in the Net Management Services litigation.
