Epic Asks For Delay to Dec. 1 to Respond to Apple’s App Store Cert Petition

Epic Games seeks a 30-day deadline extension, to Dec. 1, to respond to Apple’s Sept. 28 U.S. Supreme Court cert petition challenging a federal court’s ability to impose injunctive relief for a wide swath of nonparties instead of a single named plaintiff, wrote Cravath’s Yonatan Even in a letter Saturday (docket 23-344) to the SCOTUS clerk. The delay is needed “due to the press of other matters,” said Even. Apple is seeking to set aside the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ affirmation of the district court’s injunction barring Apple from enforcing its anti-steering rules against U.S. iOS app developers (see 2310030002).
