`
`
`
`
`MOTION FOR SUSPENSION FOR SETTLEMENT WITH CONSENT
`
`Apple Inc. (“Apple”) hereby submits this Motion for Suspension for Settlement with
`
`Consent, seeking a 30-day suspension of the proceedings.
`
`In the last Order in this matter, dated July 23, 2019, the Board granted the July 19, 2019
`
`consent motion of Apple for a suspension of these proceedings. In doing so, the Board required
`
`that any further requests for a suspension be accompanied by a detailed report on the progress of
`
`this matter. Apple herein provides a progress report as requested by the Board.
`
`The parties have been engaged in settlement discussions for months and have completed
`
`negotiation and preparation of a written agreement resolving all of the issues in this proceeding.
`
`As the Board is aware, the parties planned to finalize the agreement during the most recent
`
`settlement period. However, the parties recently learned that they must make certain minor
`
`agreed-upon amendments to the language of the agreement. The parties expect to accomplish
`
`this task during this settlement period and to finalize the agreement by obtaining the signatures
`
`of authorized party representatives.
`
`
`
`Suspension is therefore requested in order to afford the parties the opportunity to make
`
`several already agreed-upon amendments to their fully negotiated settlement agreement and to
`
`finalize the agreement.
`
`Accordingly, Apple, by its counsel and with the express consent of counsel for The
`
`Cartoon Network, Inc., requests that these proceedings be suspended for 30 days and all
`
`upcoming dates reset as follows:
