Re:

In re Order Requiring Apple Inc. to
Assist in the Execution of a Search Warrant
Docket Nos. 15-MC-1902, 14-CR-387

Dear Judge Brodie:
The government respectfully submits this letter in response to Apple’s letter
dated March 24, 2016, in which Apple requests additional time to respond to the
government’s application (filed on March 7, 2016) because it “lack[s] sufficient information
to determine the most appropriate way for this matter to proceed.” ECF No. 37 at 2. The
government has no objection to the relief sought by Apple: The government agrees to extend
the current briefing schedule to permit Apple to file its brief on or before April 15, 2016. Id.
at 1. The government respectfully requests that the due date for its reply brief be set for
April 22, 2016. The government further agrees to update the Court by April 11, 2016, as to
whether it intends to modify its application in this matter. Id. at 2.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT L. CAPERS
United States Attorney
