 Case3:09-cv-02292-JW Document352-1 Filed01/05/10 Page2 of 2

1 I, Eric Grant declare as follows:

2 1. I make this declaration in support of Objector Doug Swardstrom’s Administrative

3 Motion to Permit Out-of-State Counsel to Appear by Telephone at Hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motion

4 to Compel, filed concurrently herewith. I make the statements of fact in this declaration of my

5 own personal knowledge. If called as a witness in this proceeding, I could and would competently

6 testify to the facts set forth herein.

7 2. Having been retained to represent Mr. Swardstrom only today, and having spent

8 the afternoon preparing Mr. Swardstrom’s opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion to compel, I was unable

9 to turn to the instant administrative motion until after 5:00 p.m. today. Given that such motion

10 involves a hearing set for tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m., I did not think it possible to obtain,

11 nor reasonable to attempt to obtain, the stipulation referred to in Civil L.R. 7-11(a) prior to filing
8001 Folsom Boulevard, Suite 100
Sacramento, California 95826

12 the instant motion.

Telephone: (916) 388-0833
HICKS THOMAS LLP

13 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the

14 foregoing is true and correct. Executed on January 5, 2010.
