DECLARATION OF NAKI M. IRVIN I, Naki M. Irvin, hereby declare and state as follows: 1. 2. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth below. I am a partner with Margolis & Tisman LLP, which is counsel of record in this

action for Defendant Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd. ("Defendant"). Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2(a), I am making this declaration to

accompany the parties' stipulated request for an order extending the expert witness deadlines in this case. 3. The reason for the requested enlargement of time is that Plaintiff's counsel requested

extending the expert deadlines to delay incurring expert fees and to delay preparation of expert reports until Defendant's summary judgment motion is heard. Defendant agreed to the requested extension. 4. The only prior time modifications in this case have related to the fact and expert

discovery deadlines. 5. The requested time modification will not delay the trial, which is not scheduled to

begin until April 11, 2010, or otherwise affect the schedule for this case. I declare, under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States, that the foregoing is true and correct, and that this declaration was executed this 20th day of August, 2010, at San Francisco, California. /s/ Naki M. Irvin NAKI M. IRVIN
