Hon. Phyllis J. Hamilton
1
I, Anna St. John, declare as follows:
2
1. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein and, if called as witness, could and
3
would testify competently thereto.
4
2. My full legal name is Anna Elizabeth Wagner St. John. My business address is Competitive
5
Enterprise Institute, 1310 L Street NW, 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20005. My telephone number is
6
(917) 327-2392. My email address is anna.stjohn@cei.org.
7
3. I am a natural-person Facebook user located in the United States.
8
4. On multiple occasions from December 30, 2011 to March 1, 2017, including on or about
9
June 4, 2012, August 5, 2012, November 21, 2012, June 24, 2015, and September 6, 2015, I sent or
10
received private messages on Facebook to or from another Facebook user that included a URL in its
11
content and from which Facebook generated a URL attachment.
12
5. I am not a director, officer, agent, or employee of Facebook or its subsidiaries and affiliated
13
companies. I am not a member of the Court’s immediate family or the Court staff, nor an immediate
14
family member or staff member of any appellate court to which this matter may eventually be assigned.
15
6. I have engaged my colleagues at the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Class
16
Action Fairness (“CCAF”) to represent me in this matter. Attorneys who assisted or had other
17
involvement with this objection are Theodore H. Frank, Melissa A. Holyoak, Adam E. Schulman, M.
18
Frank Bednarz, and William I. Chamberlain. I intend to appear through counsel at the fairness hearing
19
currently scheduled for August 9, 2017.
20
7. I bring this objection in good faith to prevent approval of an unfair settlement. Unlike
21
many objectors who attempt or threaten to disrupt a settlement unless plaintiffs’ attorneys buy them
22
off with a share of attorneys’ fees, CCAF does not engage in quid pro quo settlements and will not
23
withdraw an objection or appeal in exchange for payment.
24
8. Thus, if contrary to CCAF’s practices and recommendation, I agree to withdraw my
25
objection or any subsequent appeal for a payment by plaintiffs’ attorneys or the defendant paid to me
26
or any person or entity related to me in any way without court approval, I hereby irrevocably waive
27
4:13-cv-05996-PJH
DECLARATION OF ANNA ST. JOHN
2
1
any and all defenses to a motion seeking disgorgement to the class of any and all funds paid in
2
exchange for dismissing my appeal. In addition, if this Court has any skepticism about my motives, I
3
am happy to stipulate to an injunction forbidding me from seeking compensation for settling my
4
objection at any stage without court approval.
5
9. The specific grounds of my objection are identified in the memorandum to be filed by my
6
attorney contemporaneously with this declaration.
7
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing
8
is true and correct.

Executed on June 26, 2017, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
