JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

Defendants Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd.

or Otherwise Respond to Complaint. The current deadline to file a response is July 3, 2023, and 

Defendants seek a one-week extension up to and including July 10, 2023.

Defendants respectfully submit that good cause exists for the requested extension on 

account of the intervening Fourth of July holiday and associated attorney time off. This extension 

is not sought for the purposes of delay but rather so that justice may be done. Counsel for 

Defendants has met and conferred with counsel for Plaintiff, and Plaintiff is not opposed to the 

relief sought in this motion.
