Three men charged in the Hewlett-Packard spying case will appear in court on Tuesday, according to the California attorney general's office.

Ronald DeLia, a private detective; Matthew DePante, of data-brokering company Action Research Group; and Bryan Wagner, a Colorado man believed to have been working with Action Research, have agreed to surrender to authorities and appear in Santa Clara County Superior Court to receive their arraignment dates.

The three men, along with HP former Chairman Patricia Dunn and Kevin Hunsaker, the company's former senior counsel, are charged with four felonies, including identity theft and conspiracy. Dunn and Hunsaker both surrendered on Thursday.

California's attorney general has asked that bail be set at $50,000 for DeLia and Wagner, and $100,000 for DePante.

Dunn will be arraigned on Nov. 17 and Hunsaker on Dec. 6.

As part of the leak hunt, HP has acknowledged obtaining private telephone records belonging to journalists, employees and HP board members under false pretenses.
