Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
1
MEMORANDUM
2
In accordance with Local Rules 6-1(b) and 6-3, Samsung moves the Court to shorten
3
time for the briefing and hearing schedule for its concurrently filed Motion to Compel and Motion
4
to Permit Itay Sherman to Review Design Materials.
5
A shortened briefing schedule is necessary because following the Court’s regular briefing
6
7
schedule would result in a hearing date of January 23, 2011 (1) depriving Samsung of information
8 it needs for its claim construction briefing due on December 22, 2011; (2) allowing Apple to keep
9 delaying production of a great deal of other time-sensitive, highly relevant materials for another
10 month, depriving Samsung of opportunities to conduct follow-on discovery that will allow it to
11
prepare for further depositions and other events in the case; and (3) preventing Samsung’s expert,
12
Itay Sherman, from seeing confidential documents needed for him to prepare his expert analysis
13
14
and report.
Also, the Court is already hearing discovery motions on the date proposed by Samsung.
15
16 Judicial economy would be served as the Court and the parties will be present. Samsung and
17 Apple have been negotiating these issues for weeks and Apple is already well aware of the basis
18 for these motions.
19
20
Finally, the production of these vital documents, things and other information has already
been delayed by difficulties in scheduling an in-person lead counsel meet and confer1 and Apple’s
21
22
unreasonable refusal to stipulate to the same relief from the in-person lead counsel meet-and-
23 confer requirement as it obtained for itself (not to mention its refusal to conduct any lead counsel
24 meet and confer on Samsung’s discovery issues until tomorrow, after this motion needed to be
25 filed to match the briefing schedule set by the Court with respect to Apple’s motion). (Hutnyan

Mr. Verhoeven is at trial in Washington, D.C. until December 19 and, according to Apple’s
counsel, Mr. McElhinny is out of the country until December 13, 2011. (Hutnyan Decl. ¶ 5.)

Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
MOTION TO SHORTEN TIME
1 Decl. ¶ 4.) Further, Apple rejected Samsung’s request that Apple agree to a shortened briefing and
2 hearing schedule. (Id.) Samsung requests a schedule conforming to the already existing schedule
3
4
for Apple’s Motion to Compel:
1. Apple’s opposition to Samsung’s Motion to Compel and Motion to Permit Itay Sherman to
5

Review Design Materials by December 14, 2011;
7
2. No reply; and
8
3. The hearing to take place on December 16, 2011.

CONCLUSION
Samsung has shown good cause why the Court should grant this Motion. For the
foregoing reasons, Samsung respectfully requests that the Court grant Samsung’s
12
Motion to Shorten Time for Briefing and Hearing on Samsung’s discovery motions.
