Case No.: 11-CV-01846-LHK
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT
PREJUDICE APPLE’S MOTION
REGARDING CLOSING ARGUMENT

18
Apple filed a motion requesting that the Court “instruct Samsung in advance of closing
19
arguments that it may not argue based on excluded evidence” in violation of pre-trial or trial
20
rulings. After reviewing the parties’ submissions, the Court DENIES, without prejudice, Apple’s
21
motion. The Court presumes that as officers of the court, the attorneys will comply with all pre22
trial and trial rulings in this case. If Samsung raises an argument based on evidence or theories
23
previously struck by the Court, Apple may timely object to Samsung’s closing argument.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
