COUNTY OF QUEENS )
I, Eric Weiss, the undersigned, am an attorney admitted to
practice in the Courts of the State of New York, and say that:
I am an associate in the law firm of PATTERSON & SCIARRINO,
L.L.P., attorneys for the Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiff. I have
read the annexed Third-Party Complaint and know the contents thereof
and the same are true to my knowledge, except those matters therein
which are stated to be alleged upon information and belief, and as to
those matters I believe them to be true. My belief, as to those
matters therein not stated upon knowledge, is based upon following:
investigation, interviews with client, records, reports, documents,
correspondence data, memoranda, etc., contained in the file.
The reason I make this verification instead of Defendant/Third-
Party Plaintiff, is that the Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiff, was
unavailable and out of the county of Queens at the time of drafting
and serving the attached complaint, wherein I maintain my offices.
I affirm that the foregoing statements are true under the
penalties of perjury.
