These actions filed in the Northern District of California all involve substantially the 

same transactions, events, questions of law, and allege essentially the same violations of

California law. Each of these cases allege defendant Apple, Inc., produced, marketed, and sold a 

defective product, namely the iPhone 4, without disclosing its inherent antenna-related design 

and manufacturing defect to consumers. Each of these cases alleges that a national class of

consumers were harmed by as result of the defective iPhone 4 sold and promoted by defendant 

Apple, Inc. These actions assert claims on behalf of a national class against defendant Apple, 

Inc., claiming that it has violated California common law, the California Unfair Competition

Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200), and the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Cal 

Bus. & Prof. Code § 1750).

Given the common questions of fact and law presented by these cases, it appears likely

there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense and potentially conflicting 

results if the cases are heard before different judges.

Given the similarities of these actions, assignment of these cases to a single Federal 

District Court Judge will conserve judicial resources and promote efficient determination of the 

actions while avoiding potentially conflicting results. These matters are at a preliminary state 

and, thus, assignment to a single judge would not prejudice any of the parties. Accordingly, 

Plaintiffs respectfully request that the actions entitled: 

Benvenisty v. Apple, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-02885 

Dydyk v. Apple, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-02897 

Rodgers v. Apple, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-02916 

Popik v. Apple, Inc., et al., Case No. 10-cv-02928 

Tietze v. Apple, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-02929
