Subject: Re: Apple/Motorola: Meet and Confer

Sam, while you may have not uttered the words "I agree" on the call you certainly left us all with the
impression that you had no objection to our suggested timing. And you definitely made no unilateral
demand to respond by noon pacific time as you did after the call.
You also still fail to provide any reason why the motion is so urgent that it must be filed tomorrow such
that apple could not wait until even Monday or Tuesday next week. While you reference august 22 I
think the first time you even mentioned any supposed standing issue or a stay was yesterday, and it took
two emails from Tony before you even identified that much information after you first requested a meet
and confer, suggesting no such urgency exists. Thus we again request that apple engage in a good faith
meet and confer as required.
In all events, one question we have is just what length of stay will apple be seeking. On our call we
didn't get a clear answer on that. In other words, until what occurs specifically will apple be seeking to
stay the case? We may likely have further questions after we have received an answer to that question
and after having had a chance to review the cases you have sent.
Thanks,
David

Sam-

Thank you, but your cryptic response still does not
provide me with any real information concerning
your "potential motion."

Can you please provide me with the exact nature
and factual basis of the motion so that I can be
prepared for the meet & confer?
5

Also, I will need to push the time for the meet &
confer to Thursday. 2 pm still works for me.

Thanks,
Tony
