Judge Donato Voids Jon Prosser Default, Giving 10 Days to Answer Apple Suit

Summary
James Donato set aside the default against Jon Prosser in Apple’s leak lawsuit, reopening the case for him and giving him 10 days to file a formal response.
Apple backed the move after Prosser retained counsel and agreed to immediately produce discovery, with both sides telling the court it was the fastest way to move the case forward.
Apple sued Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti last July, alleging Ramacciotti accessed an Apple employee’s development iPhone and Prosser used the information to publish videos revealing what became the Liquid Glass redesign.
Court filings said Ramacciotti cooperated with discovery while Prosser did not respond, leading the clerk to enter default at Apple’s request until Donato’s order let him contest the allegations.
