Subject: RE: Apple v. Samsung: Motion on Sherman Issues - Shortened Schedule and Leave from Lead Counsel
M&C Requirement
Apple opposes Samsung's request to waive the Court's lead counsel meet-and-confer requirement.
Samsung has been playing games, first dodging Apple's request for a meet-and-confer, then demanding
one a day later, being offered a meeting on Tuesday, and now telling us that Tuesday is too late.
Apple's lead counsel was available between December 5 and 7, 2011, and is available tomorrow.

Counsel M&C Requirement

Hi Mia,

Our motion needs to be heard on Friday; therefore a meet and confer on Tuesday would be too late, 
especially if Apple wants time to oppose the motion and the Court would require time to review the 
motion.  

Given the Court’s and counsel’s holiday schedule, we understand that the next earliest time that a 
motion could be heard is January, which would be far too late.

Thanks,
Melissa

Counsel M&C Requirement
Hi Melissa,
We are considering your requests below.
So that our client may make an informed decision, could you please let me know:
1. What basis does Samsung intend to put forward as support for its position that a meet and confer on
Tuesday is too late?
2. What basis does Samsung intend to put forward as support for its position that its motion to compel
needs to be heard on shortened time, and as early as December 16?

Mia,
Just following up on my voicemail.  We intend to file our motion to compel relating to Mr. Sherman’s access to 
Apple’s confidential documents under the protective order.  Please let us know whether Apple agrees to the 
motion being heard on shortened time:

Apple’s opposition brief: Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Hearing: Friday, December 16, 2011

Also, since Apple’s lead counsel is unavailable due to his trip to Japan, please also let us know if Apple will agree to 
our motion for leave from the lead counsel meet and confer requirement.

Please let us know by 4:00 p.m. PST today.

Thanks,
