------------------------------
IMHO, it appears that SNDK is filing a motion to compel production of financial documents by Lexar. Apparently, a previous ruling allowed SNDK to file this "late" motion (probably beyond the date required for motions by a previous scheduling order).

Lexar's motion for reconsideration of the Order allowing the late motion to be filed by SNDK, was denied in item 257.

SNDK's motion to compel is set for hearing on 6/26/2000 @ 1:30 p.m.

Now, why does SNDK have an interest in Lexar's financial documents at this time? IMHO, perhaps it indicates SNDK's confidence in their case and that they are working on proof of damages (treble). This is usually the second portion of a patent case but the Judge has already ruled that Lexar is guilty of contributory infringement on 3/28/2000.
