1.

I am a partner at the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone,

2 P.L.C. (“Miller Canfield”) and am lead counsel for Plaintiff, Bryan Pringle
3 (“Plaintiff” or “Pringle”) in the above-captioned action. I am a member in good
4 standing of the State Bar of Illinois.
5

2.

On March 22, 2011, Counsel for the Black Eyed Peas Defendants sent

6 an email in which they refused to provide dates for depositions until and unless
7 Plaintiff agreed to a Protective Order, and then instructed Plaintiff to draft such an
8 order. A true and correct copy of this email is attached as Exhibit A.
9

3.

On June 30, 2011, Counsel for the Defendants Guetta, Riesterer, and

10 Shapiro & Bernstein sent an email informing Plaintiff that despite the denial of the

LLP

HAMPTONHOLLEY

2101 East Coast Highway, Suite 260
Corona del Mar, California 92625

11 Protective Order, Defendants would not produce any documents unless Plaintiff
12 agreed to the terms of the Order. A true and correct copy of this email is attached as
13 Exhibit B.
14

4.

Because the Black Eyed Peas Defendants, Defendant Guetta and

15 Defendant Riesterer had not yet produced a single document as of June 30 despite
16 the fact that Document Requests were served on April 11, 2011, Plaintiff agreed to
17 the Stipulation to avoid further delays in obtaining discovery responses.
18

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the

19 statements contained in this Declaration are true and correct. Executed this 21st day
20 of December, 2011, at Chicago, Illinois.
