Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
SAMSUNG’S MOTION TO SHORTEN TIME

1

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-3, Defendants Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Samsung Electronics

2 America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”)
3 hereby bring this motion to shorten time for briefing and hearing on Samsung’s Motion to Extend
4 Time for Compliance with Certain Deadlines Set by the Court’s December 22, 2011 Order
5 (“Motion to Extend Time”). Specifically, Samsung requests that:
6

1.

7

Apple’s opposition to the Motion to Extend Time be filed by 2:00 p.m. on Friday,
December 30, 2011; and

8

2.

The Court decide the matter without a hearing.

9

The requested relief is necessary because despite round-the-clock efforts to meet the

10 December 31, 2011 deadline in question, it has become clear to Samsung that it will be physically
11 impossible to complete production of a discrete subset of documents subject to that deadline.
12 Samsung therefore seeks a short extension for production of this subset of documents, which
13 extension will have no impact on the Court’s schedule or on the scheduled depositions of various
14 Samsung witnesses.
15

If Samsung’s Motion to Extend Time were decided according to the schedule set forth in

16 Local Rule 6-3(c), Apple’s opposition would not be due until after the December 31, 2011
17 deadline has passed. Such a result would be inequitable and prejudicial to Samsung, especially
18 given the extensive efforts Samsung has made and the substantial cost it has incurred in producing
19 the vast majority of documents in accordance with the Court’s December 31 deadline.
20 Furthermore, at Apple’s request, the Court has recently granted expedited briefing on Apple
21 motions that dealt with issues far more complex than those raised in Samsung’s Motion to Extend
22 Time. (See, e.g., Dkt. No. 332.)
23

As soon as it became clear to Samsung that some documents subject to the Court’s Order

24 could not be produced by December 31, 2011 deadline, counsel for Samsung contacted counsel for
25 Apple to seek a stipulation regarding (1) an extension of that deadline, and/or (2) a shortened
26 briefing schedule on Samsung’s Motion to Extend Time. Apple responded on December 29,
27 2011 at 1:43 p.m., stating without explanation that Apple opposed both requests.
28
02198.51855/4528511.1

For the foregoing reasons, Samsung respectfully requests that the Court grant Samsung’s
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
