RE:

Oracle USA, Inc., et al. v. SAP AG, et al., Case No. 07-CV-1658 PJH

Your Honor:
We write with a further update regarding the trial schedule in Rincon EV Realty LLC, et
al. v. CP III Rincon Towers, Inc., et al., SFSC Case No. CGC-10-496887 (“Rincon”). As
previously noted in our updates of March 4 (Dkt. 1113) and March 23, 2012 (Dkt. 1117),
Oracle’s lead trial counsel in this case, David Boies, is also lead trial counsel in Rincon. The
Rincon trial is set to begin on June 25, 2012.
Last month, our colleagues informed the Rincon Court about the June 18, 2012 trial date
set in the above-captioned case (Dkt. 1110). At a case management conference last week, the
Rincon Court stated that the Rincon trial will remain scheduled to begin on June 25. Exhibit A,
at 16:10-14, 17:6-18. The Rincon Court stated that it might revisit the June 25 date if this Court
indicates that it will not change the trial date in the above-captioned case. Id. Opposing counsel
in Rincon stated that they would “vigorously oppose” any date other than June 25, and noted that
the Rincon trial has been “scheduled many times.” Id., at 17:3-5.
As a result, Mr. Boies continues to have a conflict with the Rincon trial, in addition to a
conflict with the DuPoint trial (set to begin June 4).
Oracle respectfully requests that this Court take these developments into consideration
when making decisions regarding the trial schedule.
Sincerely yours,

/s/
Steven C. Holtzman
Counsel for Plaintiffs
