`
`
`
`
`Dear Messrs. Sherman and Gersh:
`
` RE:
`
`In re PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC et al, N.D. Cal 5:18-md-02834-BLF
`
`As you are aware, I represent behalf of Robb Evans & Associates (“Receiver”) in the matter entitled
`Brilliant Digital Entertainment, Inc., etc., v. PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC, LASC Case No.
`21VECV00575 (the “State Court Action”). I am writing to you in response to the order issued by the
`Honorable Beth Labson Freeman, issued June 24, 2022, Document 760 in the case entitled In re
`PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC, et al Patent Litigation, in the United States District Court for the
`Northern District of California, Case No. 5:18-md-02834-BLF (the “District Court Action”).
`
`In response to the inquiry of the Court, the Receiver will not retain counsel to represent it, as the
`Receiver is not a party to the District Court Action. The Receiver is advised that PersonalWeb is in the
`process of retaining counsel to represent it in the District Court Action, which retention will be
`completed the week of July 25, 2022.
`
`While the Judgment rendered in the District Court Action occurred prior to the appointment of the
`Receiver in the State Court Action, the Receiver is authorized to pay fees of counsel for PersonalWeb in
`the District Court Action, and will do so for so long as the Receiver is able to obtain the funding
`necessary through the State Court processes. So long as the Receiver is able to obtain authorization for
`the issuance of Receiver’s Certificates in the State Court Action sufficient to allow: (i) the cost of
`administration of the Receivership Estate; (ii) the protection of the Collateral of the Receivership Estate;
`and (iii) to pay the expenses for PersonalWeb’s counsel in this District Court Action, the Receiver will
`continue to pay such fees and expenses. At any point the Receiver is unable to do so, it will seek to
`terminate the Receivership.
