Word.DOC

Mia, attached is the draft stipulation with our proposed revisions.  We’d hoped to give approval to file, 
but unfortunately we’re still waiting for Charlie’s sign‐off and hope to hear from him tomorrow.  As you 
probably know, he’s tied up in trial on the East Coast.

We’ve raised this in prior correspondence, but we reiterate that a motion to compel is not ripe yet, and 
that until the parties reach agreement as to an alternate meet and confer procedure and the Court 
approves that procedure, Apple must comply with the Court’s meet and confer requirements before 
filing its motion.

Mia ‐ we anticipate we will be able to stipulate to this (though likely with some minor revisions), but I 
will be unable to get the necessary approvals by your deadline, due to the fact that most of the team is 
traveling or in depositions.  We also need to get client approval.  We will be sending you the final 
stipulation with our comments/revisions later this evening, with our approval to file.
