FURTHER JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-10(d), plaintiffs’ interim co-lead counsel and counsel for 

defendants Carrier IQ, Inc., HTC America, Inc., HTC Corporation, Huawei Device USA, Inc., LG 

Electronics, Inc. and LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A, Inc., Motorola Mobility LLC, Pantech 

Wireless, Inc., Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

(collectively, “Defendants”) submit the following Further Joint Case Management Conference 

Statement in advance of the Further Case Management Conference currently scheduled for April 

13, 2015. 

1. SETTLEMENT BETWEEN PLAINTIFFS AND CARRIER IQ

As described in the Joint Notice of Settlement submitted to the Court on November 3, 

2014 (Dkt. No. 322), Plaintiffs and Defendant Carrier IQ have reached an agreement in principle 

that will resolve Plaintiffs’ claims against Carrier IQ on a classwide basis. Plaintiffs and Carrier 

IQ are proceeding to document their settlement-in-principle and continue to consult regarding a 

motion for preliminary approval, considering, among other factors, the possibility of an omnibus 

motion for preliminary approval in the event that settlement is reached in the near future among 

Plaintiffs and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Defendants.

2. MEDIATION

On March 17, 2015, all parties attended a third mediation session before the Hon. James 

Larson (Ret.), during which Plaintiffs and the OEM Defendants made significant progress towards 

reaching a classwide settlement. In light of that progress, the parties plan to hold another 

mediation session on April 27, 2015, which was the earliest date available for all necessary parties 

and Judge Larson. The parties therefore respectfully request that the Court continue the Further 

Case Management Conference to a date after April 27, 2015. The parties plan to file a stipulation 

seeking this continuance. In the event that an agreement in principle is reached at the April 27, 

2015 mediation, the parties will promptly file a notice of the same and begin documenting their 

agreement. 

3. DISCOVERY

In early December 2014, Plaintiffs asked certain OEM Defendants to supplement their 

initial disclosures to include relevant insurance agreements. The Samsung defendants and Pantech 

Case 3:12-md-02330-EMC Document 361 Filed 04/08/15 Page 2 of 8

FURTHER JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT

Wireless, Inc., subsequently provided Plaintiffs with the requested insurance agreements, while 

Motorola Mobility LLC has said it will do so. Furthermore, HTC Corporation, LG Electronics, 

Inc., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. have not yet served Plaintiffs with their initial disclosures.

Also in early December 2014, Plaintiffs requested that the OEM Defendants, except the 

HTC Defendants, supplement their responses to Plaintiffs’ pre-ADR Interrogatory No. 4 and 

plaintiffs’ pre-ADR Requests for Production (“RFPs”) Nos. 7, 10 and 11—which relate to whether 

the Carrier IQ software, or any component thereof, was programmed or installed on the OEM 

defendants’ devices in such a way as to cause or permit the logging to the device logs of any type 

of consumer content or communications—in light of Carrier IQ’s responses to a similar 

Interrogatory. The OEM Defendants proceeded to verify the completeness of their responses to 

the above mentioned Interrogatory and RFPs in light of Carrier IQ’s responses. LG Electronics 

MobileComm U.S.A. provided plaintiffs with a supplemental response to pre-ADR Interrogatory 

No. 4 and another OEM defendant, Huawei Device USA, Inc., has conferred with plaintiffs and 

represented that, based on its investigation to date, its answers to the Interrogatory and RFPs are 

complete as-is, but it is continuing its investigation. The other OEM defendants continue to 

investigate to confirm the completeness of their Interrogatory and RFP responses and to determine 

if those responses need to be supplemented in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e). Plaintiffs 

have requested that such investigation be completed, and that any supplementation be made, prior 

to the parties’ next mediation session on April 27, 2015.

The parties are hopeful that any discovery disputes that may arise from Plaintiffs’ 

supplemental requests can be resolved without court intervention

4. THIRD CONSOLIDATED AMENDED COMPLAINT

Plaintiffs’ Third Consolidated Amended Complaint (“TCAC”) is presently due on April 

27, 2015, the same day as the parties’ next scheduled mediation session. In light of this, the 

parties have agreed that Plaintiffs shall have until May 4, 2015 to file their TCAC in the event that 

filing it is necessary because a settlement was not reached on April 27, 2015 among the Plaintiffs 

and the OEM Defendants. The parties plan to file a stipulation to this effect, asking the Court to 

order this one-week extension, by tomorrow, April 7, 2015.
