Case No.: 11-CV-01846-LHK
ORDER REGARDING TEMPORARY
RELIEF FROM MEET AND CONFER
REQUIREMENT

Samsung filed an administrative motion seeking temporary relief from the requirement that

20

lead trial counsel meet and confer in person. See ECF Nos. 480, 187. Apple has opposed this

21

administrative motion. ECF No. 484. Although Samsung has not shown good cause for relief, in

22

light of Magistrate Judge Grewal’s schedule, and in the interest of allowing discovery to proceed

23

expeditiously, the Court GRANTS Samsung’s request for temporary relief. In the future, the

24

parties must adhere to the in person meet and confer requirement set forth in the August 25, 2011

25

case management order.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
