Minute Entry for proceedings held before Chief District Judge Amos L Mazzant: Telephone Conference held regarding discovery disputes on 5/11/2026 from 10:30 a.m. - 11:07 a.m. Attorney Appearances: Plaintiff - Blaine Larson; Defense - Indranil Mukerji, Travis Underwood, Michael Bowlus, Ranganath Sudarshan. After hearing argument from counsel regarding three discovery disputes, the Court finds as follows: As to Interrogatory No. 1, the Court denies Plaintiffs request and finds that Defendants proposed compromise is sufficient to meet the needs of discovery. Defendant shall produce information in accordance with the compromise offered. As to Interrogatory No. 15, which seeks identification and description of revenues and profits, including gross, contribution, and net profit, generated by Apple since 2019 from the sale of third-party mobile applications through the App Store, including in-app purchases and app subscriptions, the Court authorizes Plaintiff to file a motion to compel if Defendants response to Interrogatory No. 16 does not sufficiently address the information sought in Interrogatory No. 15 and/or if the parties are unable to otherwise resolve the dispute. The parties may re-raise the dispute regarding Interrogatory No. 15 with the Court after Defendant serves its response to Interrogatory No. 16, if necessary. As to Interrogatory No. 16, which seeks identification since 2019 of third-party mobile applications whose sales and/or commissions generated the largest profits, the Court grants Plaintiffs request and orders Apple to respond to Interrogatory No. 16. No exhibits. (Court Reporter - Chris Bickham) (kkc)
