APPLE INC. and NeXT SOFTWARE, INC.
(f/k/a NeXT COMPUTER, INC.),
Plaintiffs and CounterclaimDefendants,

Case No. 10-CV-662-BBC
MOTOROLA, INC. and MOTOROLA
MOBILITY, INC.
Defendants and
Counterclaim Plaintiffs.
MOTION TO WITHDRAWAL AS COUNSEL
AND NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL AS COUNSEL
BY GODFREY & KAHN, S.C.
The attorneys of Godfrey & Kahn, S.C., including James D. Peterson and Bryan J. Cahill,
move to withdraw as counsel to the plaintiffs, Apple Inc. and NeXT Software, Inc. The grounds
for this motion are that a potential conflict of interest has arisen involving Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.,
and the plaintiffs have engaged new local counsel. Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. is also filing motions
to withdraw in Case Nos. 10-CV-661 and 11-CV-178.
On September 19, 2011, Catherine Cetrangolo, of Boardman, Suhr, Curry & Field LLP
filed a notice of appearance in this case on behalf of the plaintiffs. (Dkt. No. 160.) The plaintiffs
will continue to be represented by counsel from Tensegrity Law Group LLC, Covington &
Burling LLP; and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP. Because the plaintiffs will continue to be
represented by qualified counsel, this motion should cause no prejudice to the defendants.
Accordingly, Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. requests that the Court grant this motion to withdraw
as counsel. All counsel are hereby notified that the attorneys and staff of Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.
should no longer receive copies of documents filed or served in this matter.
Dated: September 26, 2011
Respectfully Submitted,
