GENERAL STATEMENT Todd Dunning has invoked his privilege against self-incrimination pursuant to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, LeJkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77 (1973), Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 501, Article 1, Section 15 of the California Constitution, and California Evidence Code section 940. Since Mr. Dunning is the sole shareholder and sole representative of DEI, and Mr. Dunning declines to sign these discovery responses on behalf of DEI, counsel for DEI is signing these responses pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 26(g). These responses to requests for documents directed at DEI are not a waiver of Mr. Dunning's privilege. Furthermore, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized all documents and computers, disk drives, hard drives, cell phones and servers containing information potentially related to this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Kyle F. Waldinger in charge of this investigation has refused all requests to provide defendants with a copy of the material seized by the FBI. Those items and records may contain information responsive to the requests below, but those items and records are not in the possession, custody or control of defendants. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: All documents relating to eBay, including all agreements, terms of service and terms and conditions. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: DEI objects on the ground that this request is vague and ambiguous, overbroad, unduly burdensome and oppressive. DEI further objects to this request on the grounds that, as phrased, the request seeks documents the disclosure of which might violate the attorney-client privilege andlor the work product doctrine. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and based on a reasonable interpretation as to the meaning of this request, DEI responds as follows: DEI produced a limited number of documents at the time of making its Initial Disclosures. DEI has documents that may be responsive to this request that were produced to it by Commission Junction, Inc. under a Confidentiality Order in the case of Commission Junction, Inc. v. Thunderwood Holdings, Inc., et al., Superior Court, Orange County, Case No. 30-2008 00101025. Accordingly, DEI is prohibited from
