`

`
`
`
`
`
`DECLARATION OF HANNAH L. CANNOM IN SUPPORT OF
`NON-PARTY APPLE INC.’S MOTION FOR SANCTIONS
`
`I, Hannah L. Cannom, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am over the age of 18, a member in good standing of the bar of the State of
`
`California, and a partner at Walker Stevens Cannom LLP. I make this declaration in support of the
`
`Motion of Non-Party Apple Inc. for Sanctions. My knowledge of these matters stated within this
`
`declaration is either personal or has been developed and confirmed through discussions with other
`
`Apple employees. If compelled to testify as a witness, I would testify competently to the facts set
`
`forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`On April 4, 2023, Plaintiff indicated to Apple that it intended to use the Apple
`
`Agreement at trial in this case, but that “the courtroom will be sealed during discussion of its terms
`
`other than the total payment amount.” I promptly responded on behalf of Apple and proposed
`
`solutions that allowed Plaintiff to not seal the courtroom while also protecting Apple’s confidential
`
`information, including the amount of consideration Apple paid to Plaintiff in the Apple Agreement.
`
`3.
`
`After several calls, I was unable to reach a resolution with Plaintiff’s counsel. I
`
`therefore informed Plaintiff’s counsel that if Plaintiff intended to disclose the terms of the Apple
`
`Agreement in open court, I would raise it with the Court on the first day of trial.
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 539 Filed 05/03/23 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 55561
`
`4.
`
`I attended all of trial to monitor the use of Apple’s confidential information at trial.
`
`On behalf of Apple, at no point did I ever agree to de-designate or downgrade the confidentiality
`
`designation on the Apple Agreement, nor did Apple ever consent to publicly disclosing the
`
`monetary terms of the Apple Agreement.
`
`5.
`
`As a non-party to this litigation, I was outside of the courtroom when sealed
`
`information was presented to the jury. I returned to the courtroom when it was unsealed shortly
`
`before Mr. Weinstein disclosed Apple’s confidential information in open court. As such, I did not
`
`have the ability to anticipate that Plaintiff and Mr. Weinstein would publicly disclose Apple
`
`confidential information.
`
`6.
`
`During the break shortly after Mr. Weinstein disclosed this information, I
`
`approached Mr. Ard and Ms. Srinivasan to discuss the corrective measures they would take
`
`because of the improper disclosure of Apple confidential information in the unsealed courtroom.
`
`Mr. Ard interrupted me and told me he would “deal with this later.”
`
`
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America and the
`
`State of Delaware that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`
`
`Executed this 3rd day of May, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
