JASON C. RUBINSTEIN declares, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, as follows:

3

1.

I am admitted pro hac vice to this Court and am a member of Friedman Kaplan

4

Seiler & Adelman LLP, attorneys for plaintiff T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile”). I submit this
5
6

declaration to place before the Court certain facts referenced in the Direct Action Plaintiffs’

7

Motion to Dismiss Defendants LG Display America, Inc. and LG Display Co. Ltd.’s

8

(collectively, “LG Display”) Counterclaims and Strike their Defenses Concerning Duplicative

9

Recovery.

10

2.

On June 5, 2012, after the Court rejected LG Display’s motion for leave to amend

11

its answers in certain cases brought by other direct action plaintiffs in this multidistrict litigation
12

(Dkt. No. 5795), counsel for Jaco Electronics, Inc. and I spoke with counsel for LG Display
13
14

about the prospect of LG Display’s voluntarily dismissing its counterclaims and defenses

15

concerning the issue of duplicative recovery. Counsel for LG Display expressed concern that

16

LG Display would not be able to preserve for appeal its arguments on this point if it stipulated to

17

the dismissal of its counterclaims and defenses or agreed to a form of order that achieved the

18

same result, but agreed to consider the matter further.

19

3.

On June 18, 2012, I and counsel for certain of the other plaintiffs in the above-

20
21

captioned cases again spoke with counsel for LG Display. Repeating their concerns about

22

preserving for appeal LG Display’s duplicative recovery counterclaims and defenses, LG

23

Display’s counsel confirmed that LG Display would be unwilling to voluntarily dismiss its

24

counterclaims and strike its defenses concerning duplicative recovery.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on July 19, 2012 at New York, New York.
