Attorney for Plaintiff,

ROSELYN HENSLEY

DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF CONTINUANCE

I, DANIEL MALAKAUSKAS, declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the 

United States of America that the following is true and correct:

1. I am the attorney representing the plaintiff, ROSELYN HENSLEY, in this 

lawsuit. I am competent to testify and am personally familiar with the facts of this case. I 

became personality familiar with the facts of this case through my own personal knowledge. If 

called to testify, I would testify as follows:

1. After filing such lawsuit, Plaintiff, through her attorney, discovered that the 

defendants, CYNTHIA JOHNSTON and KENNETH JOHNSTON, were represented by 

attorney, DOUGLAS A. MacDONALD, who is located at 3620 American River Drive, Suite 

130, Sacramento, CA 95864. After several conversations with Mr. MacDONALD, Mr. 

MacDONALD agreed to waive service on behalf of his clients. On or around early to 

November, Plaintiff, through her attorney, sent the complaint and other required documents to 

Mr. MacDONALD as well as a waiver of service of process form.

2. During the week of November 9th, 2014, Plaintiff, through her attorney, discussed 

the case with attorney, Mr. MacDONALD. However, as defendants, DA MOTORSPORTS, 

INC. and ELK GROVE CYCLE CENTER, were still in the process of being served, attorneys 

for both sides thought it was better to ask for a continuance. Attorney Mr. MacDONALD also

thought it best if plaintiff’s attorney, MALAKAUSKAS, filed a continuance alone since 

MacDONALD’s clients had not yet formerly appeared.

3. On November 14th, 2014, defendants, DA MOTORSPORTS INC., and ELK 

GROVE CYCLE CENTER, were served through substituted service.

4. On November 17th, 2014, plaintiff’s attorney, DANIEL MALAKAUSKAS, 

discussed the case once again with attorney, Mr. MacDONALD, for defendants, CYNTHIA 

JOHNSTON and KENNETH JOHNSTON. Mr. MacDONALD stated that he had never 

received the acknowledgment and waiver of service of summons form that had been sent by 

Plaintiff’s attorney, DANIEL MALAKAUSKAS. DANIEL MALAKAUSKAS re-sent such 

acknowledgment and waiver of service of summons to attorney Mr. MacDONALD.

5. Sometime, after November 17th, 2014, attorney for plaintiffs, DANIEL 

MALAKAUSKAS, was contacted by GAYLYNN CONNANT, attorney for defendants, DA 

MOTORPSORTS, INC., and ELK GROVE CYCLE CENTER.

6. On December 26th, 2014, plaintiff through her attorney DANIEL 

MALAKAUSKAS, tentatively reached a settlement with defendants, DA MOTORSPORTS, 

INC., and ELK GROVE CYCLE CENTER.

7. KENNETH JOHNSTON and CYNTHIA JOHNSTON, still have not appeared in 

this action through their attorney MacDONALD.

8. Plaintiff needs an additional thirty (30) days in order to discuss the case further

with attorney MacDONALD, and to allow enough time for the remaining defendants to respond.
