21 I, John L. Fitzgerald, declare:
22 I am an attorney at law admitted to practice before all courts of the State of California
and am an attorney of record for DBP Investments. I make this declaration based upon my own
24 knowledge.
This declaration is made in support of DPB Investment's Post-Trial Brief.
The injunctive relief case, which was to be tried in November 2022, differed significantly
27 from this declaratory relief action. DBP had anticipated calling as many as sixteen wimesses for
28 the November trial, including a Gary Black, an expert on parking, who would have opined about
Line Offices of
Jolrn L. Frrsgerntit I
DECLARATION OF JOHN L. FITZGERALD IN SUPPORT OF DBP INVESTMENT'S POST-TRIAL BRIEF
the parking usage at King Center; and Ken Mischel, an expert on bowling centers, who would
have testified about the operations of bowling centers and the impact time-restricted parking
would have on Classic Bowling Center. DBP was also prepared to call percipient witnesses,
including employees of Classic Bowling Center, to testify about the effect King's threatened
parking restrictions would have on the bowling center, and about the patrons who would be
impacted by parking restrictions. A copy of DBP's witness list for the November 2022 trial is
attached as Exhibit A.
DBP also expected to offer exhibits related to parking at King Plaza at the November
2022 trial, including the results of parking studies and analyses performed by Mr. Black, and
10 photographs depicting the use of parking spaces by vendors of Manilla Market, King's tenant. A
copy of DBP's List of Exhibits for the November 22, 2022 trial, which was not filed, but was
12 served on opposing counsel is attached as Exhibit B.
13 1 declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
14 foregoing is true and correct.
15 Executed this g day of March 2023 at San Mateo, California.
