On July 17, 2012, Reuters America LLC (“Reuters”) filed an administrative motion to

21

intervene in this action for the limited purpose of opposing sealing of records and various

22

administrative motions to seal filed by the parties. Apple and Samsung (without waiving their

23

right to disagree with Reuters= position on sealing) did not oppose the intervention motion.

(Olson Decl. filed herewith.) Having read and considered the moving papers and other papers on
