`DECLARATION OF BENJAMIN LEGATT
`__________________________________________________________________
`
`
`
`
`I, Benjamin Legatt, declare as follows:
`
`1. I am Vice President of Consulting Services of Shepherd Data Services. I
`
`have worked at Shepherd Data Services since 2010.
`
`2. Shepherd Data Services is an e-discovery vendor located in Minneapolis,
`
`Minnesota.
`
`3. Merchant & Gould is a client of Shepherd Data Services. Merchant & Gould
`
`contracts with Shepherd Data Services for e-discovery services including use
`
`of Relativity database software. Relativity is a commonly-used software
`
`platform that permits companies and law firms to manage large volumes of
`
`electronic data for review, analysis and production in litigation.
`
`4. I am a certified Relativity Instructor, and I have worked extensively with
`
`Relativity software for approximately six years. I regularly train and advise
`
`clients, including Merchant & Gould paralegals and attorneys, on how to
`
`best use Relativity and how to run advanced searches on keywords and
`
`metadata.
`
`5. I have worked directly with the paralegal and attorney team at Merchant &
`
`Gould on the Relativity database in the matter of Oxbo Int’l. Corp. v. H&S
`
`Manufacturing Co., Inc., Case No. 15-292-jdp (W.D. Wis.). I am familiar
`
`with that database, including how it was set up and the metadata fields
`
`contained therein.
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`6. One of the metadata fields is “Date Created.” The “Date Created” metadata
`
`field means the date on which the document was created.
`
`7. I have reviewed H&S 152469-H&S 152495 (Exhibit 2014). This set of
`
`documents was produced by H&S in the District Court case. The metadata
`
`corresponding to the documents in this set show a “Date Created” of
`
`November 14, 2008.
`
`8. I have reviewed H&S152672-H&S152727 (Exhibit 2012). The metadata
`
`corresponding to the documents in this set show a “Date Created” of March
`
`10, 2009.
`
`9. I have reviewed H&S 153873-H&S 153943 (Exhibit 2013). The metadata
`
`corresponding to the documents in this set show a “Date Created” of
`
`October 12, 2010.
`
`
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States of
`
`America that the foregoing is true to the best of my knowledge.
