Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-3(d) and 7-11, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung

 Electronics America, Inc. and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively,
 “Samsung”) hereby request leave of Court to file a Supplemental Response to Apple’s Corrected
 Reply in Support of Rule 37(b)(2) Motion Re Samsung’s Alleged Violation of January 27, 2012
 Damages Discovery Order (“Supplemental Response”).


On March 20, 2012, Apple filed a Reply Brief in Support of Rule 37(b)(2) Motion Re

 Samsung's Violation of January 27, 2012 Damages Discovery Order (“Reply”) (Dkt. Nos. 822,
 828). The Reply contains numerous mischaracterizations and distortions of the deposition
 testimony of Samsung witnesses Jaehwang Sim and Timothy Sheppard concerning the content of
 Samsung's financial spreadsheets and the process by which those documents were created and
 verified. Furthermore, Apple's Reply makes the serious—and baseless—accusation that Samsung
 is somehow manipulating its financial data to obscure its profits, notwithstanding case law holding
 that the profits of a non-party foreign subsidiary are not recoverable and therefore irrelevant.
 Finally, recent discovery-related developments in this case further undercut Apple's claims of
 prejudice. Unless the Court grants Samsung leave to file its Supplemental Response, Samsung
 will not have the opportunity to brief the Court on the issues raised for the first time in Apple's
 Reply before the hearing on April 9, 2012. Granting leave will ensure that the Court is presented
 with a full record that fairly reflects Samsung's efforts to meet its discovery obligations.


For the foregoing reasons, Samsung respectfully requests that the Court grant Samsung

 leave to file a Supplemental Response to Apple’s Corrected Reply in Support of Rule 37(b)(2)
 Motion Re Samsung’s Alleged Violation of January 27, 2012 Damages Discovery Order.
