`CERTIFICATE OF CONSULTATION
`
`I, Mark Vorder-Bruegge, Jr., attorney for Defendant Sony Electronics Inc., certify that
`
`my co-counsel, Paul T. Qualey, communicated with Counsel for Plaintiff, Dan Weinberg, on
`
`December 3, 2013 via telephone regarding Defendant’s intention to file the foregoing Motion,
`
`and conferred with him to determine whether the Plaintiff would agree to the relief sought, such
`
`that the Motion could be presented as unopposed. Mr. Weinberg advised that the Plaintiff is not
