______________________/
REQUEST OF PRO BONO FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES
Complete this form and return it to the court (with two copies) for approval prior to incurring the
cost for which reimbursement is requested.

I, Carter C. White

, attorney for plaintiff(s), declare as follows:

I was appointed to represent plaintiff(s) in this action on December 26, 2017
, by the
Honorable Michael J. Seng
, United States District Judge/Magistrate Judge.
I believe that the following course of action is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this
action:
retaining expert witness Randi Ettner, Ph.D. (see attached declaration in support)

Counsel seeking reimbursement must support all claimed expenses by submitting invoices, receipts or similar
documentation. Without such documentation, counsel will not be reimbursed.

I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed
the amount of $ 10,000
.
I therefore request that this court authorize the expenditure in an amount not to exceed that stated
above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.
