`
`I am a member of the bar of the State of California and am admitted to practice
`1.
`before the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. I am a partner at
`Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP (“SAM”). The facts herein are, unless otherwise stated, based
`upon personal knowledge, and if called upon to do so, I could, and would testify to their truth
`under oath. I submit this declaration in support of SAM’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for
`PersonalWeb.
`PersonalWeb has discharged SAM as its counsel of record for any post judgment
`2.
`collection proceedings because it does not desire for SAM to represent it in post judgment
`collection proceedings, which is all that remains pending in this case before the district court.
`SAM now remains engaged as counsel for PersonalWeb relating only to
`3.
`PersonalWeb’s appeals pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,
`Case Nos. 19-1918, 20-1566, 21-1858, and the Petition for a Writ of Certiorari pending in the
`United States Supreme Court, Case No. 20-1394.
` It is my understanding that Personal Web has engaged Ronald Richards of the Law
`4.
`Offices of Ronald Richards and Associates, APC to represent it in all post judgment collection
`proceedings. On April 27, 2021, I received an email from Mr. Richards wherein he advised me,
`other SAM attorneys, and Todd Gregorian, counsel for Amazon and Twitch in this action, that
`his office was engaged to represent PersonalWeb on all post judgment collection proceedings.
`Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of this email. That same day, I received
`another email from Mr. Richards wherein he notified me that neither myself nor anyone at SAM
`is authorized to do anything post judgment, and that SAM was only engaged by PersonalWeb on
`the pending appeals. Mr. Richards further requested that I confirm receipt and acknowledge the
`limited scope of SAM’s representation of PersonalWeb, which I did. Attached hereto as Exhibit
`B is a true and correct copy of this second email from Mr. Richards, and my response thereto.
`Executed this 25th day of May, Sherman Oaks, California.
