`
`Case No. 20-cv-05640-YGR (TSH)
`
`
`DISCOVERY ORDER
`
`Re: Dkt. No. 233
`
`EPIC GAMES, INC.,
`
`Plaintiff and Counter-
`
`defendant,
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Defendant and
`
`
`
`Counterclaimant.
`
`
`
`
`
`The Court appreciates the parties’ joint discovery letter brief regarding Apple’s request for
`
`additional Epic document custodians. ECF No. 233. The parties have briefed the dispute well,
`
`and the Court can resolve it without a hearing.
`
`Apple has justified its request for the three additional custodians. Joseph Babcock’s
`
`longtime role as Epic’s CFO, Arjan Brussee’s role with respect to Epic’s games on non-iOS
`
`platforms, and Joseph Kreiner’s various roles are sufficiently weighty and relevant to warrant
`
`adding them as custodians. And Epic has not demonstrated that Apple unduly delayed in making
`
`this request. Apple’s request is therefore granted.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
