DECLARATION OF NATHAN R. HAMLER 

I, Nathan R. Hamler, declare: 

1. I am an attorney with Johnson & Weaver, LLP, lead counsel for plaintiffs. I 

make this declaration in support of the parties’ Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Continuing 

Case Management Conference. The parties seek to continue the Initial Case Management 

Conference to be reset, if necessary, until after such time as Plaintiffs make an election to file 

an amended complaint and the parties submit a proposed schedule regarding further 

proceedings to the Court. The parties agree that a continuance is reasonable and appropriate. 

2. This is the parties’ seventh request for extension of time with respect to the 

Initial Case Management Conference since this derivative action was consolidated in October 

2013. The parties’ previous stipulated requests to continue the Initial Case Management 

Conference were filed on December 9, 2013 (ECF No. 35), March 27, 2014 (ECF No. 45), 

July 10, 2014 (ECF No. 56), October 30, 2014 (ECF No. 63), November 24, 2014 (ECF 

No. 65), and January 2, 2015 (ECF No. 68). The Court granted these six previous requests 

(see ECF Nos. 36, 46, 57, 64, 66, and 68). 

3. The requested continuance will not impact any other deadlines or dates set by 

the Court. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on 

February 6, 2015, in San Diego, California. 

 s/Nathan R. Hamler
