Apple requests a continuance of the trial date until after November 10, 2015, because of the unavailability of its corporate representative, Mr. Bud Tribble. Plaintiff ContentGuard Holdings, Inc.

Apple may, but is not required, to have another officer present at voir dire and later substitute Mr. Tribble as Apple’s corporate representative at the time the case-in-chief begins. Neither part shall disclose to the jury or the venire panel the reason or reasons for Mr. Tribble’s absence during jury selection, without express leave of Court.
