I, David W. Wessel, declare:

1. I am the attorney for Marina Gelman and Mikhail Gelman. I make this declaration 

on their behalf.

2. I am their attorney in Gelman v. Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Case No. 

CGC-17-556763 in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco.

3. Attached as Exhibit 1 is page 2 to Mikhail Gelman's answers to PG&E's Judicial 

Council Interrogatories in Gelman v. Pacific Gas & Electric Company. His answer to Interrogatory 

No. 2.2 shows he was born in Russia on November 6, 1941. Thus, he is 77 and will be 78 in less 

than three months.

4. Yesterday I spoke with his wife, Marina Gelman, who told me that Mikhail Gelman 

is in poor health. He is declining physically and mentally. I also spoke with their daughter, Nicole, 

who told me the same thing.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing 

is true and correct and that I signed this declaration in Portola Valley, California, on August 20, 

2019.

 /s/ David W. Wessel
