STIPULATION; [PROPOSED] ORDER; DECLARATION 

DECLARATION OF TOMAS MARGAIN

I, Tomas E. Margain, declare: 

1. I am an attorney admitted to practice before the United States District 

Court and the attorney of record for Plaintiff Emilia Cruz. I have personal 

knowledge of the facts set forth herein and could testify competently thereto. 

2. I named the individual Defendants in this matter after first naming the 

corporate defendant and attempting service in southern California. I named the 

individuals as joint employers under the FLSA as my investigation to date made 

me question if this was a viable corporation. This was based on the records my 

client received and my conclusion after being unable to serve the corporation. 

3. After Defendants hired counsel, and during the Rule 26 meet and 

confer process, I learned that the corporation was in existence the totality of my 

client’s employment and it is the present corporate owner. This restaurant also 

appears successful and the corporation a solvent corporation. 

4. Neither I nor my client are receiving any consideration for this 

dismissal. The only advantage we are getting, in my opinion, is that the attorneys’ 

fees and costs on both sides will be lessened as we will not need to litigate joint 

employer issues. This will cut down on fees and it is believed on any hostilities, 

real or perceived, between the clients. 

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

America that the foregoing is true and correct. 

Dated: April 5, 2009 __//s// Tomas Margain_______________
