Li v. Apple Inc. et al Doc. 24 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND EMAIL January 16, 2008 Honorable Judge Leonard D. Wexler U. S. District Court Eastern District of New York Long Island Courthouse 100 Federal Plaza Central Islip, NY 11722-4438 RE: Li v. Apple Docket #: CV 07-4005 Dear Honorable Judge Wexler, We are writing to: (1) request a pre-motion conference for the filing of a MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION and (2) request reconsideration of the January 10, 2008 decision to delay discovery. The bases for the anticipated motion for class certification are as follows: 1. 2. The proposed class is: Purchasers of the iPhone before the price reduction and intended on reselling their iPhones. They, like plaintiff: Purchased iPhones from Apple intending on reselling them; are not able to resell it at as high a profit because of Apple's reduction in the price of the iPhone; were forced to switch to AT&T because Apple conditioned its sale of the iPhone upon such subscription; and were charged unreasonable amounts for these wireless service contracts. Joinder of all members would be impracticable since the above claims are typical of many more individuals. So far, we have identified about 40 individuals. 3. Also, please excuse our absence on January 10th and reconsider delaying discovery. From the conversation with your law clerk, Peter, on January 3, 2008, I understood the date for the pre-motion conference to be January 11th and was surprised to discover that it was held on January 10th. January 11th appeared to be the correct date considering the fact that the initial scheduling conference was to occur on January 11th and Judge Boyle had denied the defendants' requests to adjourn the initial scheduling conference on January 7th for failure to set forth good cause. Feel free to contact us with any questions: (718) 353-9264. Dockets.Justia.com Sincerely, /s/ C. Jean Wang Chunyu Jean Wang, Esq. Wang Law Office, PLLC Cc.: Michael B.
