WHEREAS, in the Order, the Court granted Defendants' motion "as to plaintiffs' claims for damages based on purchases from the following entities that the Court finds were not disclosed to defendants prior to the discovery cut-off (or otherwise the subject of discovery prior to the cut-off): . . . [Best Buy]: Advanced Displays, Inc., Alps Electric Co., Ltd., NEC Corp., NEC Corp. of America, NEC Display Solutions of America, Nikon, Philips Kobe, and Samsung Mobile Display";
