In support of this unopposed motion, Apple states: 1. Apple believes its answer is currently due on January 26, 2009. 2. Apple seeks additional time to respond to the Complaint. 3. The requested extension is sought in good faith and is not being sought to delay this litigation. 4. Counsel for Apple has contacted counsel for 21 srl, and Plaintiff's counsel has no objection to extending the deadline for Apple to answer or otherwise plead in response to the Complaint until February 18, 2009. 5. On January 15, 2009, the Court granted Defendant CDW Corporation's ("CDW") similar motion for extension of time until February 18, 2009. Therefore, extending the deadline for Apple to respond to the Complaint to the same day would not delay the proceedings.

WHEREFORE, Apple respectfully moves this Court for an Order extending the period of time to respond to the Complaint to February 18, 2009.
