San Francisco,
I, JENNIFER D. YU, declare:
1. Iam an attorney at law duly licensed to practice in all the courts of the State of
California. I am the attorney for Defendant and Cross-Complainant BillFloat, Inc. (“Better
Finance”) and Defendants Ryan Gilbert, and Sean O'Malley. The statements in this Declaration
are made on the basis of my own personal knowledge, and I could, and would, competently
testify thereto if called upon to do so.
2. On March 7, 2016, I sent an e-mail to Christopher Onstott (“Mr. Onstott”), counsel
for Golden Pacific Bank, N.A., stating in part, “Attached please find our first set of deposition
notices in this matter. Obviously, we selected the dates without consulting your calendar. If these
dates are not convenient, and you need to request a reasonable continuance of the dates of the
depositions to accommodate calendars, please propose dates, and once we have agreed upon new
dates certain, we will be happy to issue amended notices to agreed-upon dates.” In addition, I
enclosed six person most qualified deposition notices. A true and correct copy of my March 7,
2016 e-mail is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3. On March 10, 2016, [ had a brief conversation with Mr. Onstott on the telephone.
Mr. Onstott called in hope of speaking with William Webb to discuss the person most qualified
notices. I informed Mr. Onstott that Mr. Webb was traveling that day, but I would pass along a
message. Mr. Onstott stated that he would also be sending Mr. Webb a follow up e-mail.
4, On March 15, 2016, Mr. Onstott called my office again looking for Mr. Webb who
was still traveling. Mr. Onstott requested that Mr. Webb send a written response by that night or
the following morning at the latest.
5. On March 16, 016 at 9:59 a.m.,I sent an e-mail to Mr. Onstott enclosing a copy of
correspondence on behalf of William Webb. A true and correct coy of my March 16, 2016 e-mail
is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
6. On March 21, 2016, at approximately 9:22 a.m., I sent a letter via e-mail to Mr.
Onstott, notifying him of Better Finance’s Ex Parte Application for an Order Shortening Time to
Have Heard Plaintiff’s Motion to Quash PMQ Deposition Notices; and for Protective Order to be
heard on March 22, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in Department 302 of this Court. A true and correct copy
my e-mail and letter is attached hereto as Exhibits C and D.
7. Later that morning, Errol Dauis telephoned me to request that the ex parte
appearance be postponed until Wednesday, March 22, 2016 because Mr. Onstott is currently out
of town. I sent an e-mail confirmation and also a subsequent e-mail whereby I notified counsel
