`
`
`DECLARATION OF M. SCOTT ALPRIN
`
`I, M. Scott Alprin, declare as follows:
`
`1. I am of counsel to Rabin & Berdo, P.C. (“Rabin & Berdo), and am responsible primarily
`
`for difficult prosecution and litigation matters.
`
`2. In late October, I contracted shingles, a painful skin irritation caused by the chicken pox
`
`virus.
`
`3. On November 2, 2019, Dr. Eric Stern, prescribed for me 21 pills of valacyclovir to treat
`
`the shingles, to be taken every 8 hours. See Exhibit E1, evidencing the prescription and
`
`pharmacy records related thereto. I was taking pain killers during this time, which, to the
`
`best of my understanding, can cause drowsiness.
`
`4. On November 3, 2019, I visited the Emergency Room at Sibley Hospital in Washington,
`
`D.C. in order to see if the eye pain that I was having might be related to the shingles
`
`outbreak, which was on my head (near my eyes), as shingles is known to cause nerve
`
`damage to eyes. Dr. Stern recommend a trip to the ER. A doctor at the ER conducted an
`
`eye exam, but found no signs of the shingle virus in my eye. See Exhibit E2, evidencing
`
`my trip to the ER.
`
`5. On or about November 10, 2019, I finished the last of my 21 pills of valacyclovir. The
`
`shingles was evident on my skin and painful well after the end of the prescription. I
`
`consider myself to be recovering from shingles throughout November and into
`
`December. Unfortunately, I believe that my judgment and performance was
`
`compromised during this time.
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`6. On November 14, 2019, 6 days before the deadline to serve Pretrial Disclosures, I
`
`received a status inquiry about the case, asking if any steps should be taken. I quickly
`
`responded that the case was “on my radar.” I believe that my performance was
`
`compromised by the shingles illness on November 14, 2019.
`
`7. On December 14, 2019, I received an e-mail reminding me that I should take care of the
`
`present case. I acknowledged it without taking further action. In retrospect, I believe my
`
`decision making was still compromised by the lingering impact of shingles illness at that
`
`time.
`
`8. On October 3, 2019, the parties had engaged in a telephone conference to discuss various
`
`matters, including the possibility of settlement. I later developed, probably under the
`
`influence of the illness and the medicine, the incorrect impression that the case had been
`
`suspended for settlement discussions.
`
`9. On January 17, 2020, I became aware of the missed deadlines, upon receipt of
`
`Respondent’s Motion for Judgment.
`
`
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`
`
`Executed this 5th day of February, 2020
