ORDER VACATING CASE
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE;
CONSOLIDATING CASES; DENYING
MOTION TO DISMISS AS MOOT
These cases are scheduled for a Case Management Conference on March 26, 2012.  In their
Joint Case Management Statements, all of the parties contend that these two cases should be
consolidated.
1  Further, Defendant has filed a Motion to Dismiss in one of the cases.2
In light of the parties’ stipulation regarding consolidation of the cases, the Court finds that a
Case Management Conference would be premature at this time, as the filing of a Consolidated
Complaint is necessary.  Accordingly, the Court VACATES the Case Management Conference.  
For good cause shown, the Court CONSOLIDATES these cases into one case.  The Clerk
shall consolidate these cases such that the earliest-filed action, No. C 11-06714 JW, is the lead case.

All future filings shall be in No. C 11-06714 JW and shall bear the caption: “In re Apple iPhone
Antitrust Litigation.”  Since the later action is now consumed in the first-filed action, the Clerk shall
administratively close No. C 12-00259 JW.
On or before March 30, 2012, Plaintiffs shall file a Consolidated Complaint.  In light of this
Order, Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss–which is currently set for hearing on April 23, 2012–is
DENIED as moot.
Dated:  March 20, 2012
