`Case 3:21-md-02981-JD Document 77 Filed 08/13/21 Page 3 of 9
`
`Pursuant to this Court’s Order dated July 22, 2021 (In re Google Play Store Antitrust
`Litigation, No. 3:21-md-02981-JD (N.D. Cal. 2021) (“MDL”) ECF No. 67), the parties in the
`above-captioned MDL action (“the Parties”), by and through their undersigned counsel, submit
`this Joint Statement in order to update the Court on their ongoing discussions regarding the
`Parties’ proposed case schedule, and respectfully to seek a 14-day extension of time to complete
`those discussions and to submit a further Joint Statement on scheduling issues. A Proposed
`Order Granting Extension of Time is included with this submission. The Parties also address
`below the timing of Google’s forthcoming coordinated motions to dismiss, and also a regular
`monthly status conference in these cases, as the Court requested.
`I.
`JOINT STATEMENT ON PROPOSED SCHEDULE
`The Parties have exchanged proposals and met and conferred regarding a revised
`proposed schedule for these cases, but have so far been unable to reach agreement regarding a
`pre-trial schedule and proposed trial plan. While the Parties are currently not far apart on the
`proposed date for a trial, there are differences between the interim dates proposed by each side,
`which the Parties would like additional time to discuss further. In addition, the State of Utah and
`its co-plaintiff States, Commonwealths, and Districts (collectively the “States”) have had only
`limited opportunities to discuss the issues in the case with the other Parties, in part because
`modifications to the existing Protective Order to address state law issues (e.g., freedom of
`information laws) need to be negotiated by the Parties and approved by the Court before
`confidential documents can be produced to the States. The States believe that an extension of
`time for the Parties’ submission of scheduling proposal(s) will allow them sufficient time to
`submit a proposed modification to the Protective Order to the Court and better evaluate the
`States’ ability to meet the scheduling deadlines the Parties ultimately propose. For these reasons,
`the Parties respectfully request a two-week extension, to August 27, 2021, to submit a Joint
`Statement with a complete proposed revised schedule. The Parties understand that the Court
`intends to have a firm case schedule in place by September 2021, and are working diligently to
`submit a proposal that will be acceptable to the Court.

`
`The Parties have reached agreement, however, with respect to a schedule for coordinated
`briefing on Google’s motions to dismiss all actions in the MDL. The States have advised Google
`that they intend to amend their complaint.1 Thus, the Parties propose the following briefing
`schedule:
`
`Event
`
`Motion to Dismiss
`
`Opposition
`
`Reply
`
`Hearing
`
`Proposed Motion to Dismiss Schedule
`
`Date
`
`September 8, 2021
`
`October 15, 2021
`
`November 2, 2021
`
`As soon as possible after November 5, 2021
`
`In advance of the submission of any briefing, the Parties will submit a proposal relating
`to page limits.
`II.
`JOINT STATEMENT ON CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCES
`At the Status Conference held on July 23, 2021, the Court asked the Parties to designate a
`regular Thursday for monthly status conferences. The Parties are available for a standing status
`conference on the third Thursday of each month, starting in October. The Parties request that the
`next status conference be scheduled on the fourth Thursday (September 23, 2021), in order to
`accommodate the Jewish holiday on September 16, 2021.
`
`1 The States have agreed to share with Google a copy of the proposed amendment by August 27.
