DECLARATION OF ADAM RAMOS, ESQ. IN SUPPORT OF
DEFENDANT ESTATE PLANNING RESOURCES, INC’S EMERGENCY MOTION
FOR APPOINTMENT OF AN AGENT TO ANSWER INTERROGATORIES
I, Adam M. Ramos, being duly sworn, do depose and say as follows:
1.
I am an associate in the firm of Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP, which is located
at 50 Kennedy Plaza, Suite 1500, Providence, RI 02903. My office telephone number is (401)
457-5164.
2.
I am admitted to practice before, and am a member in good standing of, the Bar of
the State of Rhode Island, Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the United States District
Court for the District of Rhode Island, the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and the United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
3.
I represent Defendant Estate Planning Resources in these civil proceedings, and I
have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein
4.
Joseph Caramadre – a Target Defendant – is the only person currently affiliated

Case 1:09-cv-00470-S -DLM Document 127
5.
Filed 12/05/11 Page 4 of 5 PageID #: 2021
EPR began taking steps to prepare responses to the interrogatories propounded to
it by Plaintiffs Western Reserve Life Assurance Company of Ohio (“WRL”) and Transamerica
Life Assurance Company (“TLA”) in this matter immediately after the Court entered the
November 1, 2011 Order directing EPR to do so.
6.
EPR, through Mr. Caramadre, identified a third-party agent who agreed to prepare
the responses.
7.
EPR, through Mr. Caramadre, began working with that agent to prepare the
responses by providing that agent with access to the books and records of EPR.
8.
On November 17, 2011, the United States Attorney for the District of Rhode
Island (the “U.S. Attorney”) issued a 66-count indictment against Mr. Caramadre and Raymour
Radhakrishnan.
9.
EPR’s designated third-party agent was in the process of preparing answers to the
interrogatories at the time the U.S. Attorney filed the indictment.
10.
As a result of the indictment, the third-party agent was advised by counsel that he
should no longer serve as EPR’s agent for purposes of answering the interrogatories.
11.
Since the indictment, EPR, through Mr. Caramadre, has been unable to find any
person willing to serve as an agent to answer the interrogatories on EPR’s behalf.
Signed under the penalties of perjury this 5th day of December, 2010.
