Dismiss for Lack of Subject-Matter Jurisdiction Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

I. INTRODUCTION
Apples motion to dismiss the claims for lack of Article III standing is meritless. Apples
entire motion hangs on a single document emblazoned with the signature of Plaintiff Marianna
Rosen (Ms. Rosen) and in Apples possession since September 11, 2008 that confirms rather
than refutes that Ms. Rosen purchased two iPod products during the Class Period with KVC and
DVC. Apples mid-trial bid to dismiss the Class members claims is likewise baseless, even i
Apples argument about Ms. Rosens iPod purchases were true (and it is not).
II. LEGAL ARGUMENT
A. Apples Rule 12 Attack Is Meritless
In its Rule 12 motion Apple belatedly disputes Ms. Rosens trial testimony based on a single
previously undisclosed document that it retrieved from its own records a document which
ironically,confirmsrather than refutes her continuing standing to assert claims on behalf of herself
and the Certified Class.
Specifically, post-testimony investigation1has confirmed that Ms. Rosen in fact purchased
for her own personal use two indisputably affected iPods directly from the Apple store at the Short
Hills, New Jersey mall on September 11, 2008 (collectively, the 2008 iPods), squarely within the
Class Period. Declaration of Marianna Rosen, dated December 6, 2014 (Rosen Decl.), filed
concurrently, 8, 13. The 2008 iPods, bearing serial numbers YM8361TK3QX and 1A836F5F201
are both models in which KVC and DVC were admittedly installed. ECF 813-6 (Supplemental Decl
of Farrugia) at 2-3. The Apple store contacted by Ms. Rosen confirmed her purchases on that date
and e-mailed her a copy of her receipt. Rosen Decl., 6-7. A true and accurate copy of the receipt
sent by Apple is attached as Rosen Decl., Ex. 2.
1 Following Ms. Rosens trial testimony, Apple requested and Plaintiffs voluntarily produced the
serial number to the iPod she brought with her to trial. Using that serial number, Apple in less than24 hours produced an internal document in Ms. Rosens name from the Short Hills Mall Apple store demonstrating that Apple has ready access to Plaintiffs purchase records. See alsoDeclaration ofAlexandra S. Bernay, filed concurrently (Bernay Decl.), Ex. 1, Trial Transcript at 637:2-7 (TheCourt: So what were you doing in 2011, four years ago, three years ago, to investigate this particularissue that you apparently resolved in less than 24 hours? Mr. Isaacson: I dont have an answer forthat, your honor. The Court: Well, thats a problem.).

Upon delivery of Ms. Rosens receipt for the 2008 iPods, Apple for the first time disclosed
its own Internal Reprint Copy of the receipt, which Apple says shows that the 2008 iPods were
supposedly not purchased by Ms. Rosen but instead were ordered by her former husbands law
firm, The Rosen Law Firm. ECF 955 at 6:27-28. This is at odds with the facts.
Ms. Rosen purchased the 2008 iPods for her own use. Rosen Decl., 8, 13. She was no
asked or directed by anyone to buy the iPods. Id., 9. She gave one iPod to her son, as gift from her
for his personal use; it has never been used for any other purpose. Id.,8. She kept the other iPod
for her own personal use; it has never been used for any other purpose. Id. Ms. Rosens iPod is
reflected on her own personal iTunes account. Id.; Ex. 1 attached hereto. In fact, it was by
reviewing her iTunes account (information in Apples hands), that Ms. Rosen was able to see the
serial number for the 2008 iPod Touch, which is labeled as marianna Rosens iPod in her iTunes
account. Id.,5.
Ms. Rosen paid for the 2008 iPods with a credit card that she frequently used during the time
for personal purchases. Rosen Decl., 10, 12. The credit card had her name on it and she was
authorized to use it for such purposes. Id. This is true even if the card also had the name of the law
firm that her husband, Laurence Rosen, owned at the time and at which she worked as a bookkeeper
and office manager, known as The Rosen Law Firm, PA. Id. The Rosen Law Firm (the law
firm) is a Florida Professional Association, the stock of which was at the time 100% held as marita
property of both Ms. Rosen and Mr. Rosen. Id.,11; see generally61.075(6)(a)1.a., Fla. Stat
(2008) (marital assets include, among other things, [a]ssets acquired . . . during the marriage,
individually by either spouse or jointly by them). Because the law firm was solely owned by Mr
Rosen and thus the Rosens marital community, Ms. Rosen was named on and authorized to use, and
frequently did use, the firm credit card for personal purchases. Id.; see alsoEverett v. MCI, Inc., No
05-2122-PHX-ROS, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 71871, at *6 n.4 (D. Ariz. Sept. 29, 2006) (finding that
wife had standing to challenge overcharges on checking account she shared with her husband and
was authorized to use). Ms. Rosens purchases of the two 2008 iPods was not done at the direction
of the law firm, nor were those iPods property of the law firm. Id.

Ms. Rosens declaration shows just how grossly Apple is elevating form over substance to
argue based only on its own internal reprint that Ms. Rosen was not the actual purchaser of the
2008 iPods from Apple. Apples entire (one paragraph) argument that the evidence does not permit
the reasonable conclusion that [Ms. Rosen] purchased one of the allegedly affected iPods hinges
solelyon the reference to The Rosen Law Firm on the document. Declaration of Tim ONeil (ECF
956), 9 and Exhibit 2. Mr. ONeil in his declaration fails, however, to explain how or why the
words The Rosen Law Firm appear on the document. Id.
At deposition, Mr. ONeil acknowledged that he did not have any basis to state that the
customer field is populated by the name on the credit card, conceding that aside from personal
experience at the Apple Store, he knew nothing about the data collection process at the point of sale
Bernay Decl., Ex. 2, ONeil Dep. at 52:20-24. The only effort he made to determine the point of sale
process was a five-minute call made before submitting his declaration, to an individual who could
not confirm with any certainty whether the customer field captures the name on the card. Id.at
57:10-61:14. When asked what information from the card Apples Point-Of-Sale (POS) system
would capture (such as from a card with multiple names), Mr. ONeil acknowledged, I dont know
because Im not an POS expert. Id.at 61:4-7, 61:14. Further, Mr. ONeil acknowledged that the
field can be changed by an employee at the point of sale and can be edited based on the customer
request. Id.at 39:16-40:5.
Apple has failed to raise any genuine issue of fact requiring the Court to adjudicate Ms.
Rosens continuing standing to assert her claims and represent the certified Class. The constitutional
requirements of standing are satisfied if the plaintiff alleges that the challenged action has caused
him injury-in-fact, economic or otherwise. Association of Data Processing Service Organizations
v. Camp, 397 U.S. 150, 152 (1970). The contours of the injury-in-fact requirement are very
generous: once the plaintiff has alleged a specific, identifiable trifle of injury that is fairly
traceable to the defendants conduct, the requirement of a constitutionally adequate stake in the
controversy is satisfied. Preminger v. Peake, 552 F.3d 757, 763 (9th Cir. 2008) (The injury may be
minimal.). Plaintiffs are, therefore, entitled to summary adjudication by the Court in their favor
with respect to Ms. Rosens standing, even before considering her unimpeached trial testimony. In

Ms. Rosens Trial Testimony Establishes Her Article III Standing
Ms. Rosens trial testimony unequivocally establishes her Article III standing. She testified
that she purchased at least two affected iPods during the Class Period: (1) an iPod nano, and (2) an
iPod touch:
Q. And you understand that youre here today to discuss some issues related toyour purchases of iPods; is that right?
A. Right.
Q. And have you ever owned an iPod?
A. Yes.
Q. Have you when did you purchase your first iPod?
A. I believe that I purchased my first iPod in February, March of 2004. And Ibought another iPod, it was iPod nano for my little sister as a gift for hergraduation I think in July of the same year. Then I bought, I guess its nextgeneration iPod, a black iPod in September 2006. I bought an iPod nano. Ithink its called nano, the green kind of slick narrow iPod which is smallerthan the ones prior, in 2007, in the fall of 2007. And the last iPod I boughtwas the iPod touch. And I think I bought it as a Hanukkah gift for my son inDecember of 08.
Q. And did you purchase all of those iPods at an Apple store?
A. I think, you know, I dont remember a hundred percent, but I think its a verygood assumption that I bought it at the Apple store in Short Hills Mall, whichis not far from my house. Thats where I bought most of my Apple products.
Bernay Decl., Ex. 4, Trial Transcript at 583:10-584:10.3
2 Where the plaintiff is asserting a federal private cause of action,[t]he injury required by ArticleIII can exist solely by virtue of statutes creating legal rights, the invasion of which createsstanding. Fulfillment Servs. Inc. v. United Parcel Serv., Inc., 528 F.3d 614, 618-19 (9th Cir. 2008)(citation omitted); Cal Cartage Co., Inc. v. United States, 721 F.2d 1199, 1203 (9th Cir. 1983)(holding that once it is established that a private cause of action exists, the inquiry shifts fromwhether Article III standing exists to whether prudential standing concerns are satisfied). Applechallenges only Article III standing in its motion.
3 Ms. Rosens trial testimony also establishes her purchase of an iPod 5
thGen. in September 2006
discussed infra.

During cross-examination Apple chose not to question Ms. Rosen on any perceived
inconsistencies with past interrogatory answers or deposition testimony. Bernay Decl., Ex. 4, Tria
Transcript at 593:4-611:13. Nor did Apple use any of its own apparently extensive internal records
Id. In short, Apple elicited no trial testimony from Ms. Rosen at all undermining the accuracy of her
testimony regarding the nature and timing of her purchases.
Beyond her iPod purchases, Ms. Rosen also testified as to the adverse economic lock-in
which effectively forced her to continue to purchase iPods rather than other mp3 players:
Q. Why have you purchased so many Apple products?
A. Well, you know, I like Apple products. I think they are good products. I also,after I bought my first iPod, which was in 2004, I immediately proceeded inbuilding the library which consisted of a good percentage of songs that I
bought from iTunes store, which came together with the software. And alsocopying my cd library. So once I build that library, I sort of had to use iPodproducts because I couldnt use any others, mp3 players. So I was just usingmy library and loading it there.
Bernay Decl., Ex. 4, Trial Transcript at 584:18-585:3; see also,id. at 590:13-18 (So in that, I was in
a way a little bit forced to buy certain products. Even if I would have chosen Apple at the end, I
wanted to be my free choice not because I already invested time and money in the library. I felt like
I [was] stuck.).
There is, then, absolutely nothing in the current trial record that precludes the jury from fully
crediting Ms. Rosens testimony that she purchased the specified iPods from Apple and was
otherwise economically injured during the Class Period, which in turn necessarily precludes Apples
Rule 50 motion. Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 149 (2000); Krechman
v. Cnty. of Riverside, 723 F.3d 1104, 1109 (9th Cir. 2013) (district court can grant a Rule 50(a)
motion for judgment as a matter of law only if there is no legally sufficient basis for a reasonable
jury to find for that party on that issue) (citation omitted). [I]n entertaining a motion for judgmen
as a matter of law, the court . . . may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence.
Reeves, 530 U.S. at 150; id.at 149-50 (the court must view the evidence in the light most favorable
to the nonmoving party and draw all reasonable inferences in that partys favor).
The Court thus cannot under Rule 50 weigh the credibility of trial testimony especially
where, as here, it is stands uncontroverted. See, e.g., Krechman, 723 F.3d at 1110-11 (reversing

grant of motion for judgment as a matter of law). Under the present record, there is an ample
evidentiary basis for the jury to find that Ms. Rosen suffered economic loss during the Class Period
fairly traceable to Apples alleged misconduct.Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61
(1992) (alleged overcharges are a concrete, particularized, and actual injury-in-fact).
C. Ms. Rosen Has Standing Even as to Her September 2006 iPod 5th
Generation (iPod 5
thGen.) Purchase
If the named plaintiffs claim remains a live controversy at the time of class certification, the
case will not become moot even if the named plaintiffs personal claim later expires. U.S. Parole
Commn v. Geraghty, 445 U.S. 388, 398-99 (1980). Standing and mootness are two sides of the
same coin. Bates v. United Parcel Service, Inc., 511 F.3d 974, 986 (9th Cir. 2007) ([M]ootness is
described as the doctrine of standing set in a time frame.).
Here, Apple does not in its motion dispute Ms. Rosens trial testimony regarding her
September 2006 purchase of the iPod 5th
Gen. within the Class Period, except to argue that the iPod
5th
Gen. does not include the KVC and DVC challenged by Plaintiffs. But at a minimum her
purchase of the iPod 5th
Gen. gave Ms. Rosen standing to assert a claim based on Apples prior
sworn testimony regarding affected models.
The Courts Order certifying the Class was premised on the list of iPods identified by
Apples Augustin Farrugia as affected by the changes in Updates 7.0 and 7.4. Bernay Decl, 3. The
Class certified by the Court: (a) defined a Class Period of September 12 , 2006 through March 31
2009 (the Class Period); and (b) defined class membership in terms of the specific models of iPods
sold during the Class Period, including specifically the iPod 5th
Gen.(the Class Definition). Id.
6; see also, ECF 694 at 9 (Class Notice). The Class Notice was issued to more than 8 million
consumers in the spring of 2012. Bernay Decl., 7.
On July 2, 2013, after Class Notice and after Plaintiffs submitted Professor Roger Nolls
liability and damages report, Apple submitted a corrected declaration from Augustin Farrugia in
which he changed his previous testimony identifying the affected iPods. Bernay Decl., 10
Plaintiffs subsequently asked Apple to stipulate to revise the Class Definition to exclude the
purportedly unaffected models. Id.,11. Apple refused to do so. Id. Plaintiffs in the October 14

2014 Joint Pre-Trial Conference Statement acknowledged, therefore, that they only sought damages
for the Class members who purchased affected iPods. ECF 823 at 1.
This chronology establishes two things. First, Ms. Rosen had standing at the time of
certification of the Class even with respect to her uncontested purchase of the iPod 5th
Gen. She
remains a member of the Class as currently certified.
Second, it is far too late for Apple to seek to alter the class definition. Apple made a strategic
decision not to modify the class definition to align with Farrugias changed testimony. Presumably
Apple did so because it seeks to attack Plaintiffs expert, Professor Roger G. Noll, at trial, and to
preserve any challenges to the certification of the Class. It is therefore unavailing for Apple to argue
that the governing class definition may include Class members who purchased only unaffected
models. Whatever the amount of damages awarded by the jury, Plaintiffs will engage in a post-
verdict allocation process among the certified Class as a whole, in which Apple has no standing to
participate or object. In re Urethane Antitrust Litig., 768 F.3d 1245, 1269 (10th Cir. 2014)
(defendant has no interest in the method of distributing the aggregate damages award among class
members).
D. Even if Ms. Rosens Claims Were Mooted by Apples Change inPosition as to the Affected iPods, She Remains an AdequateRepresentative of the Certified Class
Even if the Court were to find that Ms. Rosens individual claims were moot, she remains a
proper and adequate representative of the Class claims, which were certified nearly 2 yearsbefore
Apples change in designation of the affected models. Once a district court has certified a class
mooting the putative class representatives claim will not moot the class action because, upon
certification, the class acquires a legal status separate from the interest asserted by the class
representative, such that an Article III controversy then exists between the named defendant and
every member of the certified class. Pitts v. Terrible Herbst, Inc., 653 F.3d 1081, 1090 (9th Cir
2011) (citing Sosna v. Iowa,419 U.S. 393 (1975)).
Apple in its brief tries to limit Sosnato instances in which the disputed issue is capable of
repetition yet evading review (ECF 955 at 11:25-12:10), but that argument has since long been
discredited. See Franks v. Bowman Transp. Co., Inc., 424 U.S. 747, 754 (1976). Apples cited cases

declining to apply the capable of repetition exception where a plaintiff never had standing at all
(ECF 955 at 11-12) are inapplicable here because (a) Plaintiffs do not rely on that exception and (b)
Ms. Rosen at the absolute minimum had standing through the date of Class certification.
Under Sonsa, after class certification the analysis shifts from whether the case is justiciable to
Rule 23(a)(4)s fair and adequate representation requirement. Addressing this requirement, the
SonsaCourt concluded that even though the named plaintiffs personal claim may be moot, she stil
adequately protected the interests of the class because it was unlikely that segments of the class
[Sosna] represent[ed] would have interests conflicting with those she . . . sought to advance. 419
U.S. 393, 403 (1975). An appointed class representative may therefore continue to represent a
certified class even if her personal claims have become moot, at least until such time that there is
determination that representative is no longer adequate. Binta B. ex rel. S.A. v. Gordon, 710 F.3d
608 (6th Cir. 2013). By traveling across the country and testifying at trial, as well as submitting to
invasive discovery of her music purchases, sitting for a day-long deposition and taking an active role
in the litigation, Ms. Rosen has demonstrated her adequacy as a class representative through her
unflagging willingness to serve the best interests of the Class.
E. Even if the Named Plaintiffs Claims Were Mooted, the Class ClaimsRemain and a Substitute Class Representative Should Be Appointed
Finally, even if Ms. Rosens claims were deemed moot, and even if Ms. Rosen were for some
reason deemed inadequate to continue as the representative of the Class, the appropriate remedy is to
a name substitute class representative. Bates, 511 F.3d at 986-88
Plaintiffs have numerous Class members who are prepared to step in and serve as class
representatives without delay. First, K&N Enterprises, Inc. (K&N) is willing to serve as a class
representative. As the Court is aware, Plaintiffs believe that K&N has standing to bring claims
against Apple. See Darley Leone Mart, Inc. v. Bechtel, No. 8K-JC-78, 1982 Del. Super. LEXIS 781
(Del. Super. Mar. 19, 1982); see alsoDel. Gen. Corp. Code 278. Moreover, K&N is ready and
willing to revive for that purpose (curing the concern of the Court expressed in its earlier order (ECF

927))4, and its owner Ken Riegel has: (a) already been deposed by Apple; and (b) already testified a
trial. Bernay Decl., 13.
Numerous other absent members of the Certified Class have likewise contacted Plaintiffs
expressing a readiness and willingness to serve as Class Representative. Bernay Decl., 12. To the
extent the Court deems Ms. Rosen an improper or inadequate class representative in any respect, the
only fair and equitable remedy is to substitute one or more additional class representatives.
A motion to add a class representative should be granted where the proposed new plaintiff is
a member of the class and seeks the same relief for all of the reasons offered by the original
plaintiffs. Rogers v. Paul, 382 U.S. 198, 198-99 (1965). Courts within the Ninth Circuit often allow
either substitution or addition of new class representatives. See, e.g.,In re TFT-LCD Antitrust Litig.
No. M 07-1827 SI, MDL No. 1827, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17792, at *10 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 3, 2009)
Morgan v. Laborers Pension Trust Fund, 81 F.R.D. 669, 673-75 (N.D. Cal. 1979) (permitting
plaintiffs to add new class representatives). The court may permit intervention by a new
representative or may simply designate that person as a representative in the order granting class
certification. Manual for Complex Litigation(Fourth) 21.26 (2007) (citingIn re Telectronics
Pacing Sys., Inc., 172 F.R.D. 271, 283 (S.D. Ohio 1997) (court named substitute new class
representative without formal intervention or joinder)). Bernay Decl., Ex. 5.
This is not a case likeLierboe v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co., 350 F.3d 1018, 1023 (9th
Cir. 2003) where the named plaintiff never had standing and never was a member of the class she
was named to represent. There the Ninth Circuit, on an accepted Rule 23(f) interlocutory appeal of
class certification, dismissed a putative class case for lack of standing after it was determined, by
certified question to the state supreme court, that the plaintiff (Lierboe) had no claim from the
outset of her litigation. 350 F.3d at 1023 n. 6. But the Ninth Circuit simultaneously noted: If
Lierboe initially had a viable . . . claim that later became moot, then our law in an appropriate case
would permit substituting proper class representatives to allow the suit to proceed. Id. (citing
4 SeeDel. Gen. Corp. Code 312(a), (c) and (e) (revival of a void company is immediate and
retroactive); Frederic G. Krapf & Son, Inc. v. Gorson, 243 A.2d 713 (Del. 1968). There isabsolutely no prejudice to Apple.

had certified appellants class prior to appellants own claim [ ] becoming moot, we would not
dismiss this appeal for mootness. In such a case, remand to the district court would be appropriate in
order to determine whether a substitute representative would be available.)). LikeLierboe, the
entire line of cases cited by Apple is premised on a finding that the plaintiff never had a viable claim
at the outset a finding that cannot be made here. See, e.g.,Lidie v. State of Cal., 478 F.2d 552, 555
(9th Cir. 1973) (substitution denied where the original plaintiffs were never qualified to represent
the class); Williams v. Boeing Co., No. C98-761, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 27491, at *32-*33 (W.D
Wash. Nov. 4, 2005) (same; plaintiffs failed to allege actionable claims at the outset); Kirola v. City
and County of San Francisco, No. C 07-3685 SBA, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 60919, at *4 (N.D. Cal
Apr. 29, 2014) (same; plaintiffs lacked standing to bring lawsuit in the first instance).
Even considering her uncontested iPod 5th
Gen. purchase alone, Ms. Rosen had standing
when the operative complaint was filed and when the Class was certified, and she remains a member
of the Class as such to this very day. But she furthermore unquestionably had (and has) standing
based on her purchase of the 2008 iPods, which place her squarely within the certified Class and
within Plaintiffs expert damages analysis.
Apples suggested course that the Court dismiss the entire case rather than providing an
opportunity to substitute a new class representative conflicts with the law of this Circuit. As an en
bancpanel of the Ninth Circuit observed inBates, the Supreme Court has held it would be error for a
district court to dismiss class allegations where it had already certified a class and only later had it
appeared that the named plaintiffs were not class members or were otherwise inappropriate class
representatives. 511 F.3d at 986 (citing and quotingE. Texas Motor Freight Sys., Inc. v. Rodriguez
431 U.S. 395, 406 n.12 (1977)); Kremens v. Bartley, 431 U.S. 119 (1977) (the claims of the narrower
class remain live, even after the contours of the class have changed or the class has been truncated
by intervening legislation);Lynch v. Baxley, 651 F.2d 387, 387-88 (5th Cir. 1981) (finding that the
district court committed reversible error in dismissing the class after it found that the class
representative lacked standing). Even in the situation of a not-yet-certified class, the Ninth Circuit

I, ALEXANDRA S. BERNAY, declare as follows:
1. I am an attorney duly licensed to practice before all of the courts of the State of
California. I am a member of the law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, one of the
counsel of record for plaintiff in the above-entitled action. I have personal knowledge of the matters
stated herein and, if called upon, I could and would competently testify thereto.
2. I submit this declaration in support of Plaintiffs Opposition to Apple Inc.s Motion to
Dismiss for Lack of Subject-Matter Jurisdiction Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12
(b)(1) and 12(h)(3), or Rule 50.
3. At the time of class certification in 2011, Plaintiffs relied upon a list of iPod models
identified by Apples Augustin Farrugia as models affected by the software and firmware updates
(the keybag verification code and the database verification code) in iTunes 7.0 and 7.4.
4. The Court requested supplemental information regarding those models on June 22
2011.
5. The list of affected models included a number of types of iPods and various
generations within iPod type. The list included iPod Classic models, iPod nanos, iPod touch models
and iPod shuffles. The iPod Classic Fifth Generation was included on that list.
6.
After the Court certified the class and approved the list of models in the class period, I
worked with Apples counsel and the class administrator, Rust Consulting Group, to effectuate a
notice plan. The parties worked extensively on the notice plan, carefully crafting the language to be
used in mailed and publication notice as well as the case information that would appear on the case
website, www.ipodlawsuit.com. That list of models remains available on the Court-approved site
7. The notice to the class took place in the spring of 2012, with more than 8 million
consumers and more than 500 resellers receiving direct notice.
8. In March of 2013 I received a phone call from Apples counsel informing me that Mr
Farrugia had determined that the list of affected models Apple provided was incorrect.
9. I later received an email from Apples counsel which detailed this list of affected
models. Because this was not an official statement from Apple, Plaintiffs requested a sworn
statement regarding which models were actually affected.

2 (O'Neil Deposition Exhibit 3 was marked.)
3 BY MR. MEDICI:
4 Q. Court reporter is going to hand you O'Neil 2
5 and O'Neil 3. O'Neil --
6 THE WITNESS: Here you go.
7 BY MR. MEDICI:
8 Q. I'm actually going to hand O'Neil 4 to you, as9 well.
10 MR. RINGGENBERG: I've got 2 and 4. I'm not
11 sure I got 3. What was 3?
12 Oh, thank you. Sorry.
13 (O'Neil Deposition Exhibit 4 was marked.)
14 BY MR. MEDICI:
15 Q. Okay. For the record, Exhibit -- O'Neil
16 Exhibit 2 is something that's entitled "Internal
17 Reprint Copy" dated September 20th, 2006. It's a
18 two-page document, Trial Exhibit 2855.
19 Exhibit 3, Trial Exhibit 2857. Has the same20 date.
21 And then Exhibit 4 is a one-page e-mail
22 attaching a receipt called a duplicate receipt from
23 September 11th, 2008.
24 Did I correctly identify those three
25 documents?
Page 461 A. Yeah, I believe so.
2 Q. Can you please turn to Exhibit 2 of your
3 declaration.
4 A. Mm-hmm.
5 Q. And then can you also turn to Exhibit 4. I'd
6 like to compare page 2 of Exhibit 4 to this Exhibit 2
7 of your declaration.
8 My first question is, what's the difference9 between an internal reprint copy and a duplicate
10 receipt?
11 A. So, I guess there -- the easiest way to
12 describe it is that, in POS, there's different --
13 different versions of the same data that you can pull.
14 I guess that's the best way to put it.
15 Q. Okay. Why -- why does the Exhibit 2 to your
16 declaration have a customer name and Exhibit O'Neil 4
17 does not?
18 MR. RINGGENBERG: Objection. Foundation as to
19 O'Neil 4.
20 THE WITNESS: I don't have an answer for that.
21 BY MR. MEDICI:
22 Q. Can you tell me what O'Neil Exhibit 4 is?
23 A. It's an e-mail to Marianna Rosen -- or, sorry,
24 from Marianna Rosen -- originally to Marianna Rosen
25 to --
Page 47
1 Q. Let me -- let me start again here.
2 Do -- do you see on the first page where it
3 says "[email protected]"?
4 A. Yeah.
5 Q. Do you recognize that to be the Short Hills,
6 New Jersey, Apple Store?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. And then they're e-mailing
9 ; is that correct?
10 A. I understand that, yes.
11 Q. And then, attached to that e-mail is a -- a
12 duplicate receipt which has a bar code on it, and that
13 bar code is R0435033178.
14 You see that?
15 A. I do.
16 Q. And then, if you look over at Exhibit 2 to17 your declaration, Trial Exhibit 2884, do you see that
18 the receipt ID on that document matches the receipt ID
19 of the duplicate receipt?
20 A. I'm sorry, which -- which documents again?
21 Four and which document?
22 Q. Exhibit 2 to your declaration.
23 A. Oh.
24 Yes, I see that they are the same invoices.
25 Q. And does that tell you that these are the --
Page 48
1 this is about the same purchase?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. Okay. Now, I'd like to -- I'd like to ask a
4 couple more questions about what the difference is
5 between an internal receipt -- an internal reprint copy
6 and a duplicate receipt.
7 Why -- why -- would you be able to pull, for
8 instance, a duplicate receipt?
9 A. So, this is the one that was actually sent to
10 a customer. I don't -- I don't know if it's a
11 different format or anything like that. It appears
12 that she requested it, and they e-mailed it to her.
13 And from my own recollection of having receipts
14 e-mailed to me, it looks similar to that.
15 The internal reprint is -- it's an -- it's the
16 reprint. It has more data on it.17 And aside from them being different versions,
18 I -- I don't know. Again, I'm not the -- the POS
19 expert or worked from -- in retail, so...
20 Q. Okay. The question was -- was, are you able
21 to pull a duplicate receipt rather than an internal
22 reprint copy?
23 A. So, in -- in this format, I -- I think it's
24 when it's e-mailed to a customer. And I don't do that,
25 so I don't know if it -- it looks like exactly the same

Page 49
1 or anything like that.
2 Q. Same database?
3 A. I would probably say yeah, but I don't know
4 that functionality at all. I mean, it's POS, so it's
5 point-of-sale system.
6 Q. All right. Let's turn to your -- to your
7 declaration, please.
8 A. Okay.9 Q. You use the word "serialized" in here?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. What does that mean?
12 A. So, GCRM tracks serialized Apple products.
13 And by serialized, it's products that have serial --
14 serial numbers associated with them. So it would be
15 Macs, iPods, iPhones, iPads, cinema displays, Apple
16 TVs, but it wouldn't be your keyboard or your mouse or
17 cables or anything like that. It's serialized
18 products.
19 Excuse me.20 And so, that's what GCRM has in it.
21 Q. Okay. Can you please turn to Exhibit 3,
22 O'Neil Exhibit 3.
23 A. Yep.
24 Q. Can you identify Trial Exhibit 2857, O'Neil 3?
25 A. Yes.
Page 50
1 Q. What is this?
2 A. That is -- if you recall earlier in the
3 conversation, I mentioned the installed product page
4 from GCRM. That's -- that's what it looks like. So
5 all of the serial numbers that we've been discussing
6 all have pages similar to this in GCRM.
7 Q. Are you able to search any of these fields
8 that are available on this page?9 A. I'm able for -- to find a product. This is
10 not the actual search screen.
11 Does that make sense?
12 This is the results screen after -- after you
13 do the search. So I'm only really able to do the
14 search via serial number in GCRM. I don't believe I
15 can -- yeah, I don't think I can pull any transactional
16 data. It's just associated with the serial number.
17 Q. But didn't you say earlier that you could run
18 searches by name?
19 A. Yeah, but that's a different -- you're asking20 about the installed product page, and I'm talking about
21 the installed product page. So I get to this page here
22 via serial number search.
23 Q. Okay. I -- on the right side, it says
24 "channel type." It's about three or four inches down
25 the page.
Page 51
1 What does indirect channel mean?
2 A. I'm -- I'm not in -- in sales, so I'm really
3 not sure it's -- exactly what it means.
4 Q. Down -- down at the bottom of the page, it has
5 "date created" and "date modified."
6 Do you see that?
7 A. Yep.
8 Q. Do -- do you know -- do you know what that --
9 what the -- what that means, aside from -- like do --
10 do you know what those particular fields mean, aside
11 from just your experience?
12 A. I -- I -- I don't. I believe it's kind of
13 tracked to, I mean, the actual -- the actual product
14 itself. Because all these products and stuff -- not to
15 get boring or too technical, but all the serial
16 numbers, even before they're sold, they live all in17 SAP and all -- who does the manufacturing and all the
18 stuff like that. But I would venture a guess that it
19 was created similarly when it was shipped. And then,
20 when it was purchased, that modified the record. I
21 mean, I -- I can only speculate.
22 Q. Okay. That's fine.
23 Is there any way that you can tell that --
24 from anything that we have here or that is -- any of
25 these exhibits, including your declaration -- strike
Page 52
1 that. I'll start over so I can get a clean question.
2 Is there -- is there anything here today that
3 indicates that any of these purchases were made
4 anywhere but in a physical store?
5 A. They all appear to have been made at a
6 physical store, an Apple retail store.
7 MR. MEDICI: Okay. Can we take two or three
8 minutes? I want to look over this document you gave
9 me, and then I'll probably I would have five minutes
10 left or so.
11 MR. RINGGENBERG: Fine.
12 MR. MEDICI: Thanks.
13 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're off the record at
14 5:19 p.m.
15 (Short recess taken.)
16 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're back on the record at17 5:26 p.m.
18 BY MR. MEDICI:
19 Q. Mr. O'Neil, I just a few more questions.
20 Aside from personal experience, you know
21 nothing about the data collecting process of -- at the
22 point-of-sale for the Apple point-of-sale database; is
23 that correct?
24 A. That's correct.
25 Q. I'd also like to request any -- any documents
