I 4 have personal knowledge ofthe facts set forth herein, except as to those stated on information 5 and belief and, as to those, I am informed and believe them to be tme. If called as a witness, I 6 could and would competently testify to the matters stated herein. I make this declaration in 7 support of Andrea Spears v Health Net of Cahfomia, Inc. 8 2. My job responsibilities as the Director of Investigative Services of Setec Security 9 Technologies, Inc. entail providing litigation support to attomeys, as well as leading our 10 computer forensic and electronic discovery specialists who work in our business unit, Setec 11 Investigations, which specializes in the discovery, collection, investigation, and production of 12 electronic information for investigating and handling computer-related crimes and misuse. In my 13 role with Setec Investigations, I work with government entities, local, state, and federal law 14 enforcement agencies, private attomeys, and corporations, and specialize specifically in 15 managing computer forensic investigations and providing thorough litigation support solutions. I 16 have been involved in over 2,750 computer forensic investigations and electronic discovery 17 engagements surrounding theft of intellectual property, trade secret misappropriation, fmancial 18 fraud, email and Intemet abuse, employee disputes, copyright infringement, industrial espionage, 19 disputed dismissals, and software code reviews, spoliation, among other engagements. 20 3. Prior to my employment at Setec Security Technologies, Inc., I was a digital 21 forensics examiner at Stroz Friedberg, LLC, where I led digital investigations and provided 22 expert guidance in a multitude of different litigations. Prior to working at Stroz Friedberg, I was 23 a Special Agent in the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations. I was chief of the 24 Cyber Investigations and Operations at Yokota Air Base, Japan. I investigated countless 25 incidents of computer crime and led the Air Force's cyber counter-intelligence gathering efforts 26 throughout the Pacific region.

Specifically in support of wage and hour actions, Setec Investigations is 5 frequently provided with electronic information in the form of raw timecard reports, payroll 6 records, accounting data, and human resources modules directly from workstations, servers, and 7 other media devices acting as a repository of such relevant electronic information. Once we are 8 provided with such information, Setec Investigations is able to process the records they contain 9 to clearly depict relevant figures on a per shift, per pay period, or per year basis, as well as other 10 timeframes.Frequently, the computations entail using both the FLSA and Califomia schemas to 11 calculate unpaid wages, unrecognized overtime, off-the-clock wages, waiting time penahies, 12 meal break violations, and associated interest on these amounts. 13 5. Setec Investigations has performed data analysis, review, and reporting on a 14 variety of the accounting, payroll, and time and attendance systems utilized by employers, 15 including ADP, PeopleSoft, and Workforce EmpCenter. All oftiiesesystems are designed to manage 16 an entire workforcefroma centralized repository with the aim of enhancing productivity and ensuring the 17 workforce is achieving the greatest potential for the organization. On a tactical level, the centralized 18 repository takes into consideration state and federal laws and compliance requirements, tax implications, 19 salaries and benefits, payroll, time and labor, scheduling, and other core considerations of managing a 20 workforce. 21 6. In light of the sophistication of the report generation capabilities of ADP, 22 PeopleSoft, and Workforce EmpCenter, Setec Investigations has requested and received a variety 23 of different types of reports developed directly from these types of systems including, but not 24 limited to, timesheets, shift summaries, time management, absence tracking, schedules, payroll 25 summaries, summaries of late, missed, and short meal breaks, rest break summaries, paystub 26 entries, and summaries of final paychecks. Such reports are in the form of Excel spreadsheets or 27 flat textfilesthat can be directly imported into Excel or database programs, which are easily 28 1 generated in mass across large quantities of employees and timeframes.Even in the case of raw 2 database dumps with no native application or user interface, the database data can still be 3 analyzed efficiently without significant impediment. 4 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Califomia that the 5 foregoing is tme and correct.
