VIA ELECTRONIC FILING May 9, 2008 The Honorable Leonard P. Stark United States District Court for the District of Delaware 844 King Street Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: Sciele Pharma, Inc. v.

I write on behalf of both the Plaintiffs Sciele Pharma, Inc. and Sciele Pharma Cayman Ltd. (collectively, "Sciele") and the Defendants Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Laboratories, Inc. (collectively, "Mylan") to inform the Court that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss all claims, counterclaims, and defenses in the above-captioned actions. The actions are patent infringement lawsuits concerning U.S. Patent No. 4,892,741 ("the '741 Patent"), which will expire on June 8, 2008. The parties have therefore agreed to dismissal as of that date. The Court has scheduled a hearing on June 4, 2008 for oral argument on Mylan' Rule s 12(b)(1) Motion to Dismiss Sciele's Complaint for Lack of Standing and Subject Matter Jurisdiction and for a scheduling conference. Because the parties have now agreed that this case will be dismissed on June 8, 2008, Mylan has agreed to withdraw its motion. Thus, there is no longer any need for a hearing, and the parties respectfully request that the Court remove the hearing from the calendar. The parties will file a stipulation dismissing all claims, counterclaims, and defenses with prejudice on June 8, 2008 and request that the Court dismiss the case on that date. Respectfully, /s/ William J. Marsden, Jr. William J. Marsden, Jr. WJM/jel cc: Clerk of the Court (via e-filing) Mary B. Matterer (via e-filing)
