12 In Re Apple & AT&TM Antitrust Litigation ORDER CONTINUING HEARING ON

MOTIONS TO DISQUALIFY COUNSEL
13 AND APPOINT LEAD COUNSEL
14 /
15 On February 7, 2008, the Court received a letter from Mark C. Rifkin, counsel for plaintiffs
16 in a parallel New York action, Kliegerman v. Apple, Inc. S.D.N.Y No. 1:07-cv-08404-PKC. (See
17 Docket Item No. 59.) Counsel seeks permission to file a proposed interim lead counsel motion in
18 anticipation that the Kliegerman action will be transferred to this Court. Counsel represents that the
19 transfer is imminent because the Kliegerman plaintiffs have consented to Defendant Apple’s motion
20 to transfer.
21 In light of this representation, and the Court’s desire to mainstream this process, the Court
22 continues the hearing on the motions re: disqualification and appointment of lead counsel currently
23 set for March 10, 2007 to April 7, 2008 at 9 A.M. This continuance anticipates that the New York
24 action will be transferred and related to this action by early March. Accordingly, the Court sets the
25 briefing schedule as follows:
26 (1) All Motions to disqualify and appoint lead counsel shall be filed and served by
27 March 3, 2007.

2 (3) All Replies, if any, shall be filed and served by March 24, 2008.
3 The parties may not stipulate to an alternative briefing schedule.
4 In light of this Order, Plaintiff Smith’s Motion to Enlarge Time to File Motion (docket item
5 no. 59) is denied as moot.
