`
`
`SONY MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS (U.S.A.) INC.’S MOTION (WITH
`INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM) TO TRANSFER VENUE PURSUANT
`TO 28 U.S.C. § 1404(A) TO THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`(WITH CERTIFICATE OF CONSULTATION)
`
`Defendant Sony Mobile Communications U.S.A., Inc. (“SoMC”) respectfully moves this
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Court to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of
`
`California. The facts and law supporting this relief are set forth in detail in the memorandum and
`
`exhibits supporting the same motion filed in the related action against defendant’s affiliate, Sony
`
`Computer Entertainment America LLC, Case No. 2:12-cv-02826-JPM-tmp, Doc. 25. SoMC
`
`incorporates that document in this motion by reference, to eliminate the necessity of the Court
`
`reviewing what would otherwise be extensive duplicate information.

`CERTIFICATE OF CONSULTATION
`
`I, Glen G. Reid, Jr., attorney for defendant, certify that I talked to Richard Carter on
`
`December 7, 2012 regarding defendant’s intention to file the foregoing motion, and conferred
`
`with him to determine whether the plaintiff would agree to the relief sought, such that the motion
`
`could be presented as unopposed. The consultation was not successful and Mr. Carter advised
`
`that the plaintiff opposes the motion.
