`
`ORDER RE COSTS
`
`On November 7, Google filed a bill of costs (Dkt. No. 876). On November 21, the very
`
`day objections were due, Sonos requested an unopposed extension of the deadline to file
`
`objections until December 1 “to allow sufficient time to meet and confer in an attempt to reach
`
`agreement” (Dkt. No. 882).
`
`It was not lost on the judge that Sonos had asked Google if it would stipulate to an
`
`extension as early as November 17, and that Google had indicated it was amenable as early as
`
`November 19 — two days before Sonos requested an extension of its deadline on the day of
`
`that deadline, which was two days before Thanksgiving (Dkt. No. 882-1). Even so, the judge
`
`granted the request without fuss on counsel’s representation that an attempt would be made to
`
`reach agreement and avoid unnecessary motion practice (ibid.). Sure enough, no agreement
`
`occurred, and objections were filed on December 1 (Dkt. No. 884).

`Case 3:20-cv-06754-WHA Document 885 Filed 12/28/23 Page 2 of 2
`
`
`
`Sonos objects to $38,515.70 of the $126,341.51 in costs. Everyone knows that this is a
`
`drop in the bucket in this contentious, prolonged, global litigation. A hearing on the bill of
`
`costs is hereby specially set for WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, AT NOON. To assist the judge in
`
`assessing the objections and their value — and to ensure lead counsel have addressed these
`
`issues personally — either Sean Sullivan or Clem Roberts shall personally argue on behalf of
`
`Sonos, and Sean Pak shall personally argue on behalf of Google.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`
`
`Dated: December 28, 2023.
