DECLARATION OF DIRK O. JULANDER AND APPLICATION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE JOINT 

SCHEDULING REPORT AND [PROPOSED ORDER] 

Time to File Joint Scheduling Report. The matters set forth herein are based on my 

own knowledge unless stated otherwise and as to those matters I am informed and 

believe them to be true. 

2. On September 17, 2012, Plaintiff and Defendants KBA ASSETS AND 

ACQUISITIONS, LLC, a Nevada Corporation (“KBA”) and BEN PENFIELD, an 

individual (“Penfield”), stipulated through their respective attorneys to extend the 

time for filing the joint status report. The Court granted the proposed order in that 

stipulation and the time to file a joint scheduling report was extended to November 

27, 2012 with the Scheduling Conference Hearing set for December 4, 2012. 

3. The purpose for the stipulation was to facilitate service of process on 

Defendants, ASSET PLACEMENT LIMITED a UK Corporation (“APL”) and 

SUSAN GEORGINA GILLIS (“Gillis”), an individual both of whom reside in the 

United Kingdom. APL and Gillis had retained counsel, attorney Douglas R. 

Dollinger of New York City, New York, and had been in communication with me 

regarding service of process and as well as the merits of this matter. In late 

September, Gillis communicated through Plaintiff that she would not accept service 

of process. Accordingly, my office retained a firm to assist with service of process 

in the UK. To date, we have spent $1,050.00 in an effort to serve Gillis and APL. 

Unfortunately, Gillis has given false information as to her home and business 

addresses. Our service firm has done a search of public records in the UK and also 

confirmed that the available addresses for Gillis and APL are not accurate. We are 

now in the process of retaining an investigative firm to help us locate these 

defendants and are also engaging other resources seeking to prefect service of 

process. 

4. In addition, I have attempted to reach opposing counsel for KBA and 

Penfield to discuss the joint scheduling report. That attorney, Jeffrey A. 

Tenenbaum, has yet to return my calls. Moreover, since the inception of this 

litigation, I have been working with another attorney, Robert Victor, who

represented that he was the personal counsel for KBA and Penfield and that he 

would be handling the matter except for the appearances. In fact, I have never 

spoken or worked with Mr. Tenenbaum on any of the issues in this case, I have only 

worked with Mr. Victor. My office attempted to contact Mr. Victor and then his 

assistant to coordinate a meeting to discuss the joint scheduling report as we did in 

connection with the prior stipulation. To date, we have not received any 

communications from Mr. Victor or his office. Unfortunately, according to the 

State Bar website, it appears that Mr. Victor has been disbarred and is no longer 

authorized to practice law. As such, I no longer have access to any counsel for KBA 

and Penfield with whom I am able to work with on this matter. 

5. Consequently, on behalf of Plaintiff, I am requesting that Court extend 

the time for filing the joint scheduling report. I believe that, acting diligently, we 

can either perfect service on Gillis and APL or know that we will not be able to do 

so within 90 days. Also, within that time, I will be able to communicate with 

counsel of record for KBA and Penfield to determine who will be representing those 

defendants in this matter going forward and will also be able to generate a joint 

scheduling report or at a minimum prepare a scheduling report unilaterally which 

addresses the issues required by the Court. I am therefore making application for a 

90 day extension of the time in which to submit the Joint Scheduling Report for this 

matter. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of 

America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed November 27, 2012, at 

Irvine, California.
