`DECLARATION OF JOHN J. LUCAS
`
`I, John J. Lucas, hereby declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am an attorney duly admitted to practice before this Court and an associate of
`
`Marshall, Gerstein & Borun LLP, counsel of record for Defendant Cars.com (“Cars”) in the above
`
`captioned case. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated below and, if called as a witness, I
`
`could competently testify thereto.
`
`2.

`Benjamin T. Horton and John J. Lucas, two of the attorneys of record for Cars.com,
`
`reside in the Chicago area.
`
`3.
`
`Live appearances by the above-mentioned Midwest counsel for Cars.com are not
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`

`feasible because of the time and expense involved, requiring 13 to 18 hours of travel and an
`
`11
`
`overnight stay.
`
`12
`
`4.
`
`As one of the customer cases currently stayed while the Court proceeds with the
`
`13
`
`Amazon DJ action, Cars.com anticipates limited involvement required of its counsel at the Claim
`
`14
`
`Construction Tutorial scheduled to be held May 2, 2019 at 2:00 p.m.
`
`15
`

`Counsel for Cars.com has inquired whether Plaintiffs object to this request and have
`
`16
`
`been informed that Plaintiffs do not object.
`
`17
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
