`
`MEMBER CASE NO. 2:17-cv-515-JRG
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`LG ELECTRONICS, INC.
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
`
`DECLARATION OF EDWARD R. TITTEL IN SUPPORT OF LG ELECTRONICS,
`INC.’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO AMEND THE DOCKET CONTROL ORDER
`
`I, Edward R. Tittel, state and declare as follows:
`
`
`
`1.
`
`I am a United States citizen and a resident of Texas, living at 2443 Arbor Drive
`
`Round Rock, Texas 78681.
`
`2.
`
`I have been retained as the sole technical expert by Defendant LG Electronics,
`
`Inc. (“LGEKR”) to respond to the expert opinion of Mr. Paul McAlexander, who is Plaintiff
`
`AGIS Software Development, LLC’s (“AGIS”) expert on infringement issues. I understand that I
`
`am also providing support for the LGEKR’s damages expert on technical issues implicated by
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 94-1 Filed 12/18/18 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 3447
`
`and necessary to respond to the expert opinion of Mr. Alan Ratcliff, who is AGIS’s expert on
`
`damages issues.
`
`3.
`
`I understand that AGIS served the opening expert reports of Messrs.
`
`McAlexander and Ratcliff related to infringement and damages, respectively, the evening of
`
`Friday, December 14, 2018. The next morning, on Saturday December 15, 2018, I received the
`
`unfortunate and unexpected news that my father had passed away in Fairfax County, Virginia.
`
`Although not yet obtained from the State of Virginia, if requested and necessary, I can furnish to
`
`the Court a copy of my father’s death certificate once it is issued.
`
`4.
`
`In addition to the emotional toll I am enduring from my father’s passing, I am also
`
`executor of his estate and will be handling his funeral and financial arrangements. This is very
`
`important to me and it will also occupy a significant amount of time over the next several weeks
`
`and into the new year.
`
`5.
`
`I understand that the current deadline under the Court’s schedule for serving
`
`rebuttal reports is December 28, 2018. Respectfully, given this unanticipated event, my current
`
`emotional state, and the related tasks for which I am now responsible, I am unable to realistically
`
`and adequately meet this deadline.
`
`6.
`
`I realize the Court is very busy and responsible for many matters, but I would
`
`humbly ask for an extension to January 18, 2019 so that I may adequately dedicate myself to
`
`fulfilling my commitment to LGEKR and provide my expert rebuttal opinion in this matter. The
`
`requested deadline of January 18, 2019 is requested by me not to delay matters since I know all
`
`the litigants are waiting to review any opinion I may have in this case. In order to properly and
`
`cogently go through the information in the case to give an accurate report, I need time that was
`

`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 94-1 Filed 12/18/18 Page 3 of 3 PageID #: 3448
`
`not anticipated when this schedule was set out. I feel I need the time to emotionally and
`
`physically prepare to do a good job considering the unexpected events that have occurred.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed in
`
`Round Rock, Texas on December 18, 2018.
