Shayna D. Gorski says that I am the attorney of record, or of counsel with the attorney(s)
of record, for NOTICE PURSUANT TO CPLR3402(B) AND THIRD-PARTY SUMMONS AND
VERIFIED COMPLAINT, and know the contents thereof and the same are true to my
knowledge, except those matters therein which are stated to be alleged on 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 the following:
Discussions with defendants and/or review of our files.
The reason I make this affirmation, instead of Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs, is that
the Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs do not presently reside in the County where your Deponent
has an office.
That the sources of your Deponent's information and the grounds of my belief as to the
matters so alleged herein are investigations had by the Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs,
Plaintiffs'
Defendants/Third-Party agents, servants and representatives into the subject matter
hereof and correspondence relating thereto, reports of which investigations and copies of which
correspondence are in the possession of your Deponent.
