I, Melissa Gardner, declare:

1.
I am an attorney in the law firm of Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP,
3
and a member of the State Bar of California. I am admitted to practice before this Court. I am

one of the counsel for Plaintiffs in this action. I make this declaration based upon my own

of the matters stated herein.

certification, and/or the personally identifiable or confidential information of non-parties to the

annoyance, embarrassment, or other significant harm, and the public has no meaningful need to

access it:

5.
Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true and correct copy of the unredacted version
of the Rebuttal Report of Jennifer Golbeck in support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification,
which is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of David Slade in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion
for Class Certification (“Slade Declaration”). Highlighted text in Exhibit C is text that Plaintiffs
propose to redact on the grounds that such text contains information that Defendant (the
designating party) has designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”.
6.
Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of Exhibit C with the
proposed redactions applied.
7.
Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a true and correct copy of excerpts from the May
19, 2015 deposition of Matthew Campbell, which are attached as Exhibit 2 to the Slade
Declaration. Good cause exists to seal the text highlighted in Exhibit E (17:17-18; 128:1-3;
205:6), which concerns Mr. Campbell’s private communications and affairs disclosed nowhere
else in public filings and not relevant to the merits of the case or class certification. Publishing

Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a true and correct copy of Exhibit E with the

9.
Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a true and correct copy of the Supplemental
6
Declaration of Melissa Gardner in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification (dated
7
February 19, 2016). Good cause exists to seal the text highlighted in Exhibit G, which concerns
8
details regarding the representation and conduct of a former party to this litigation which, if made
9
public, could expose that party to unnecessary annoyance, embarrassment, or other significant
10
11

13
harm. The public has no meaningful need to access the information.
10.
Attached hereto as Exhibit H is a true and correct copy of Exhibit G with
the proposed redactions applied.
11.
Attached hereto as Exhibit I is a true and correct copy of the Updated Report of
14
Fernando Torres, which is attached as Exhibit 9 to the Slade Declaration. Highlighted text in
15
Exhibit I is text that Plaintiffs propose to redact on the grounds that such text contains
16
information that Defendant (the designating party) has designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL”
17
or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”:

13.
Attached hereto as Exhibit K is a true and correct copy of excerpts from the
21
October 1, 2015 deposition of David Shadpour, which are attached as Exhibit 6 to the Slade
22
Declaration. Good cause exists to seal the entirety of Exhibit K, because Mr. Shadpour is no
23
longer a party to this litigation (Dkt. No. 123). Publishing the testimony risks exposing Mr.
24
Shadpour to embarrassment, annoyance, or other potential harm. No public interest in such
25
publication exists, because testimony from a person who is neither a Plaintiff nor entitled to
26
recovery of damages in this case is not relevant.

Attached hereto as Exhibit L is a true and correct copy of the document bearing
Bates stamp FB000005575, which is attached as Exhibit 7 to the Slade Declaration. Defendant

January 26, 2016 deposition of Catherine Tucker, which is attached as Exhibit 11 to the Slade

15
designated the entirety of this deposition transcript “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
16
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”.

18.
Attached hereto as Exhibit P is a true and correct copy of excerpts from the

action and are attached as Exhibits 14- 20 to the Slade Declaration. Defendant (the designating
26
party), has designated these documents “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

28
personally identifiable information of Plaintiffs and non-parties to this litigation.
