followed up with plaintiffs' counsel at all between,
09:32:07
2
again December-January time frame and the March time
09:32:09
3
frame?
09:32:13
4
A.
Yeah.
But I -- to help add some clarity
09:32:13
5
on what was discussed earlier on record, it was a
09:32:16
6
more passive conversation about leaving the claim.
09:32:18
7
It only became more active around this time.
09:32:20
8
9
Q.
What is -- you said "around this time."
Are you talking about July or March?
09:32:23
09:32:25
10
A.
The March time, yeah.
09:32:26
11
Q.
Can you describe what you mean by a more
09:32:29
12
passive conversation.
13
A.
Yeah.
09:32:32
"I would like to leave the claim.
09:32:33
14
What's the best -- what's the best approach?"
09:32:34
15
And --
09:32:36
16
17
18
19
20
Q.
That was generally a conversation with
Mr. Portnoy?
A.
09:32:39
Yeah.
My conversations were exclusive to
Mr. Portnoy for majority of duration.
Q.
09:32:37
Understood.
But earlier you referenced
09:32:40
09:32:42
09:32:45
21
conversations with Mr. Rudolph, Ms. Gardner and
09:32:47
22
Mr. Diamand.
09:32:50
23
24
25
A.
They were not involved in those?
That's correct.
They were involved in the
summer.
Q.
09:32:52
09:32:55
In the summer.

A.
Yeah.
09:32:56
2
Q.
Had you had, as far as you can recall, any
09:32:57
3
conversations with Ms. Gardner or Mr. Rudolph or
09:32:59
4
Mr. Diamand at any point up until March of 2015?
09:33:02
5
A.
Not that I know of.
09:33:06
6
Q.
You mentioned the conversations were
09:33:12
7
passive but then they -- I forget which term you
09:33:14
8
used -- but you --
09:33:17
9
A.
Active.
09:33:18
10
Q.
-- became more active in around the March
09:33:18
11
time frame.
Is that right?
09:33:20
12
A.
Yeah.
09:33:21
13
Q.
At that point did you make any specific
09:33:24
14
instructions to your counsel to have them dismiss
09:33:28
15
you from the case?
09:33:31
16
A.
Yeah.
I asked to be dismissed.
09:33:33
17
Q.
Had you made that explicit request before
18
March of 2015?
09:33:38
19
A.
It's possible.
09:33:40
20
Q.
At any point in time, going broad now, at
09:33:44
09:33:36
21
any point in time, did anyone explain to you what
09:33:47
22
Facebook sought in exchange for your withdrawal or
09:33:51
23
dismissal from the case?
09:33:54
24
A.
Yeah.
I believe the deposition.
09:33:55
25
Q.
How about completing outstanding
09:33:59
Page 68

1
discovery?
09:34:02
2
A.
It's possible.
09:34:02
3
Q.
And were you willing to sit for a
09:34:04
4
deposition in exchange for dismissal?
09:34:06
5
A.
No.
09:34:08
6
Q.
At any point in time did that desire
09:34:09
7
change?
09:34:12
8
A.
No.
9
Q.
Fair enough.
09:34:15
Do you know that Facebook had requested
09:34:20
10
11
12
A.
Yeah.
09:34:22
I'm aware of that.
MR. CHORBA:
