A FFIDAVIT OF RACHEL KATZMAN
State of New York )
) ss.:
County of Suffolk )
I, the undersigned Rachel Katzman, being over of the age of eighteen (18) and of sound
mind, swear that the following is true to the best of my knowledge upon penalty of perjury:
I. This affidavit is based on my personal knowledge.
2. At all relevant I did not and had no reason to believe, that ex-
times, know, my
husband, Plaintiff Stephen Pasterino, was storing any of his personal property at Pvolve's fitness
studio located at 415 W. Broadway, New York, NY 10012 (the "Soho Studio"). I have never
seen any Amazon or other receipts showing that Pasterino purchased the equipment he took on
August 13, 2022. I believed that all of the gym equipment at the Soho Studio belonged to
Pvolve. My goal in asking Madison Krause to call the police on August 13, 2022 if Stephen
refused to leave or took any equipment, was to file a police report documenting Stephen's
actions.
3. It is my understanding that Stephen and I had retrieved and divided all of our
"B"
respective personal property prior to our divorce in August 2020. Attached hereto as Exhibit
1 of 2
