`DEFENDANT APPLE INC.’S STATUS REPORT PURSUANT TO
`SECOND AMENDED STANDING ORDER
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Second Amended Standing Order Regarding Motions for Inter-
`
`District Transfer (Aug. 18, 2021), Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) reports to the Court as follows.
`
`On April 14, 2022, Apple filed a Motion to Transfer Venue to the Northern District of California
`
`Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) (Dkt No. 24). Prior to the close of venue discovery, which
`
`concluded on June 23, 2022, Apple also filed a motion to supplement the record for its motion to
`
`transfer (Dkt No. 36). Briefings on both motions have concluded. With respect to the motion to
`
`transfer, Aire filed a Response on July 7, 2022 (Dkt No. 41), and Apple filed a Reply on July 28,
`
`2022 (Dkt No. 50). With respect to the motion to supplement, Aire filed a Response on July 6,
`
`2022 (Dkt No. 40), and Apple filed a Reply on July 13, 2022 (Dkt. No. 43). Accordingly, Apple’s
`
`Motion to Transfer and its Motion to Supplement the Record have been fully briefed and is ready
`
`for resolution. Apple believes the Court would benefit from an oral hearing on the Motion. The
`
`Markman hearing in this case is set on September 1, 2022, four weeks from the date of the filing
`
`of this Status Report.
