DECLARATION OF JENNY JIN
I, JENNY JIN, declare the following:
1. [am an attorney for Plaintiff Angelique Rochelle in this matter.
2. The facts stated within this declaration are based upon my personal knowledge, except for
those which are based on information and belief, and I am competent to testify as to these
facts.
3. On November 8, 2017, Plaintiffs Baz Rochelle, Ella Lawton, and Leona Paslay accepted
Defendants Trevor Deng and May Deng’s Offers to Compromise pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure Section 998. Item No. 4 in these offers, as well as the executed releases provide
that [eJach party is to bear their own respective costs and attorney’s fees. Attached as
Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of the signed Releases for Baz Rochelle, Ella Lawton,
and Leona Paslay.
4. The defense took the depositions of Plaintiffs Baz Rochelle and Ella Lawton in this case,
mainly to try to show that they did not reside at the Subject Premises with their mother,
Angelique Rochelle, and were not entitled to damages. The defense also took the
depositions of the children’s two fathers, third parties John Lawton and Tom Paslay, to
prove this. These were costs which were expended specifically to defend against the
children’s claims in this case, and should have been allocated and excluded.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
foregoing is true and correct.
