CASE NO. 11-CV-01846 LHK (PSG)

1
I, MIA MAZZA, declare as follows:
2
1.
I am an attorney with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP, counsel for Apple
3
Inc. (“Apple”). I am licensed to practice law in the State of California. Except as otherwise
4
indicated, I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein. I make this declaration in
5
support of Apple’s Opposition to Samsung’s Motion to Shorten Time, filed the evening of
6
December 12, 2011.
7
2.
On Monday, December 12, 2011, at 11:11 a.m. Pacific time, I received an e-mail
8
from counsel for Samsung entitled, “Apple v. Samsung: Motion on Sherman Issues – Shortened
9
Schedule and Leave from Lead Counsel M&C Requirement.” Attached hereto as “Exhibit A” is
10
a true and correct copy of that e-mail and the resulting discussion thread. Samsung’s e-mail
11
stated in relevant part, “We intend to file our motion to compel relating to Mr. Sherman’s access
12
to Apple’s confidential documents under the protective order. Please let us know whether Apple
13
agrees to the motion being heard on shortened time.” (See Ex. A.) The e-mail further stated that
14
Samsung would be moving for administrative relief from the Court’s meet-and-confer
15
requirement in connection with the Sherman motion. At no time did Samsung inform Apple that
16
it planned to file a second discovery motion on or about December 12, 2011, in addition to the
17
Sherman motion referenced in Samsung’s 11:11 a.m. e-mail.
18
3.
Samsung’s lead counsel did not meet and confer with Apple’s lead counsel, in
19
person or otherwise, regarding any of the issues raised in the motions filed by Samsung the
20
evening of December 12, 2011. On Saturday, December 10, 2011, at 3:25 p.m. Pacific time, I
21
received correspondence from counsel for Samsung requesting that Apple’s lead counsel meet
22
and confer with Samsung’s lead counsel at 2 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday, December 11, 2011—
23
less than 24 hours later. Attached hereto as “Exhibit B” is a true and correct copy of that letter.
24
To avoid the need to file under seal, Apple has redacted unrelated portions of the letter that
25
contain Apple-confidential information.
26
4.
Attached hereto as “Exhibit C” is a true and correct copy of my e-mail response to
27
Samsung’s December 10, 2011, letter, reminding Samsung’s counsel that Apple’s lead counsel
28
had left for Tokyo the day before and would not be available over the weekend. I stated further
DECLARATION OF MIA MAZZA ISO APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOTION TO SHORTEN TIME
CASE NO. 11-CV-01846 LHK (PSG)

1
that Apple’s lead counsel’s plane would be landing at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday,
2
December 13, 2011, and that he would make himself available for a meeting anytime after noon.
3
I did not receive any reply to this e-mail.
4
5.
As of the time of this Declaration, Samsung has not identified a single time when
5
its lead counsel would make himself available to meet and confer regarding Samsung’s issues or
6
any other issues, other than 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 11, 2011, and December 19, 2011.
7
6.
Starting on November 30, 2011, Apple made extensive, good-faith efforts to
8
schedule a lead counsel meet-and-confer discussion in person (or otherwise) to take place on
9
December 5, 6, or 7, 2011, regarding Apple’s issues. As detailed in Apple’s Administrative
10
Motion for Temporary Relief from Lead Counsel Meet and Confer Requirement (Dkt. 463), filed
11
on December 8, 2011, and granted by Judge Koh on December 9, 2011 (Dkt. 472), and the
12
Declaration of Michael Jacobs filed in support therewith (Dkt. 463-1), Samsung refused to make
13
its lead counsel available for a meet-and-confer discussion of Apple’s issues at any time before
14
December 19, 2011.
15
7.
Since October 19, 2011, the parties have engaged in weekly meet-and-confer
16
discussions regarding outstanding discovery issues. We have discussed most, if not all, of the
17
issues raised in Samsung’s motions filed December 12, 2011. For nearly all of the issues, Apple
18
has agreed to provide most or all of what Samsung requested. For example, Samsung requested a
19
large number of discovery papers, court filings, and transcripts from the Apple v. Motorola case
20
for purposes of its claim construction briefing. Apple produced all of the Motorola papers it
21
could locate―nearly a thousand documents―on November 23, 2011. On December 11, 2011,
22
Samsung advised Apple that there were four items it could not locate in the Motorola production.
23
Apple is currently in the process of working to locate those four items in its production or
24
elsewhere, and Apple has agreed that it will produce the information as soon as it is found. To
25
my knowledge, Samsung has not requested any additional documents for purposes of claim
26
construction.
