I, David A. Straite, hereby declare as follows:
1.
I am an attorney admitted to practice pro hac vice in this case and Of Counsel to the firm
23
Kaplan, Fox & Kilsheimer LLP in New York, NY. I am interim co-counsel of record for the Plaintiffs
24
and a member of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee. I have personal knowledge of the facts below and
25
could and would testify competently to them if called as a witness.
26
2.
I personally negotiated the joint “Proposed Protective Order for Litigation Involving
27
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets” with counsel for defendant Facebook, filed with this Court
28
on September 6, 2013 (the “Proposed Protective Order”) [ECF No. 68].

3.
The lead plaintiffs and defendant in this action have commenced discovery, limited to the
2
exchange of document requests and interrogatories; responses and objections thereto; and approximately
3
360 pages of documents produced by defendant Facebook. Facebook counsel represented that these
4
documents are not confidential. Upon my information and belief, all 360 pages are publicly available.
5
4.
During the negotiation of the Proposed Protective Order, it was the good faith
6
understanding of all parties that the exchange of confidential information would not begin until five
7
business days after the Court approves the Proposed Protective Order, given the sensitivity of some of
8
the information requested by both sides. No party has ever taken a position contrary to that good faith
9
understanding.
10
5.
On March 13, 2014, I emailed Kyle C. Wong, counsel for Facebook, and asked to confer
11
regarding the outstanding Proposed Protective Order. I conferred telephonically the following day
12
(March 14, 2014) with Mr. Wong and his colleague Jeffrey M. Gutkin. Their position was that the
13
exchange of confidential information cannot begin until the Court approves the Proposed Protective
14
Order, consistent with the parties’ good faith understanding described in Paragraph 4, above.
15
6.
I invited Mr. Wong and Mr. Gutkin to consider the exchange of confidential information
16
on an attorneys’-eyes-only basis while awaiting the approval of the Proposed Protective Order. In the
17
alternative, I invited counsel to make a joint submission to the Court with Plaintiffs concerning the need
18
for Court approval of the outstanding Proposed Protective Order. Counsel asked for time to consult
19
their client.

requests.

On March 28, 2014, Mr. Wong informed me that defendant Facebook declined both
