Re: Dkt. No. 233

APPLE INC.,
Defendant and
Counterclaimant.

The Court appreciates the parties’ joint discovery letter brief regarding Apple’s request for

16

additional Epic document custodians. ECF No. 233. The parties have briefed the dispute well,

17

and the Court can resolve it without a hearing.

18

Apple has justified its request for the three additional custodians. Joseph Babcock’s

19

longtime role as Epic’s CFO, Arjan Brussee’s role with respect to Epic’s games on non-iOS

20

platforms, and Joseph Kreiner’s various roles are sufficiently weighty and relevant to warrant

21

adding them as custodians. And Epic has not demonstrated that Apple unduly delayed in making

22

this request. Apple’s request is therefore granted.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
