PARK ISO SETTLING DEFENDANTS’ RENEWED MOTION TO FILE PORTIONS UNDER SEAL 1 I, Julie Y. Park, declare that: 2 1. I am a partner with Morrison & Foerster LLP, counsel of record for Pacific MSO, 3 LLC (“Pacific MSO”), Prelude Fertility, Inc (“Prelude”), and Joseph Conaghan, PhD, parties in 4 the above-captioned matter. I make this declaration in support of the Renewed Motion to File 5 Under Seal Portions of Motion for Approval of Good Faith Settlement filed on behalf of Pacific 6 MSO, Prelude, San Francisco Fertility Center dba Pacific Fertility Center (“PFC”), and Drs. Carl 7 Herbert, Eldon Schriock, Philip Chenette, Carolyn Givens, Liyun Li, and Isabelle Ryan (together, 8 “PFC Physicians”), and Joseph Conaghan (collectively, the “Settling Defendants”). This 9 declaration is based on my personal knowledge. 10 2. The following portions of the Settling Defendants’ Motion for Approval of Good 11 Faith Settlement and supporting documents merit sealing: page 12, lines 12–13, 16–17 and 12 page 14, lines 7–8, 21 of the Memorandum of Points and Authorities (“Memorandum”); and 13 portions of paragraphs 9 and 11 of the Master Settlement Agreement attached as Exhibit 1 to the 14 Bosman Declaration (“MSA”). 15 3. Paragraphs 9 and 11 of the MSA contain confidential settlement information and 16 reflect the parties’ settlement negotiations, including the settlement amount and information about 17 payment allocation. Portions of the Memorandum quote directly from or otherwise refer to the 18 confidential settlement information in the MSA. The MSA is to remain confidential under its own 19 confidentiality provision. The confidential settlement information is not publicly known, and its 20 confidentiality is strictly maintained except as required to support or oppose the motion under 21 California Code of Civil Procedure section 877.6. The Settling Defendants were required to 22 include all terms of the MSA in their motion for the Court and any objecting party to properly 23 evaluate the good faith basis for the settlement. 24 4. Disclosure of the MSA’s terms, including the settlement amount, or disclosure of 25 confidential settlement negotiations would harm the Settling Defendants’ ability to resolve 26 potential or future claims and undermine further settlement negotiations with PFC patients not 27 included in the MSA. If the materials are permitted to be publicly filed, the Settling Defendants 28 sf-4583803 3 DECLARATION OF J. PARK ISO SETTLING DEFENDANTS’ RENEWED MOTION TO FILE PORTIONS UNDER SEAL 1 will be prejudiced by others having access to the settlement amount and payment allocation, 2 including PFC patients and their counsel who were not involved in the MSA. 3 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the 4 foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 5th day of October, 2021. 5 6 Julie Y. Park 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 sf-4583803 4 DECLARATION OF J.
