DECLARATION OF CONNIE K. CHAN IN SUPPORT OF JOINT MOTION TO 
EXTEND CASE SCHEDULE 
Case No.: 3:21-md-02992-GPC-
MSB 
 
DECLARATION OF CONNIE K. CHAN 
I, Connie K. Chan, hereby declare as follows: 
1. 
I am a partner at the law firm of Altshuler Berzon LLP, co-lead counsel 
for Plaintiffs and the putative class in this action. I submit this declaration in support 
of the parties’ Joint Motion to Extend the Case Schedule. I have personal knowledge 
of the facts set forth in this declaration and if called as a witness in this action, I 
could and would testify competently to these facts. 
2. 
Because the Court has not yet ruled on Plaintiffs’ Motion for 
Reconsideration of Dismissal with Prejudice of the UCL Claim (ECF 151), Plaintiffs 
do not know whether the UCL claim is a live claim in this case properly addressed in 
their forthcoming motion for class certification. Similarly, because the Bank has not 
yet filed its Answer, Plaintiffs do not yet know what affirmative defenses the Bank 
will assert and therefore cannot address any such affirmative defenses in their class 
certification motion. 
3. 
The parties have met and conferred and agree the proposed case 
schedule set forth in their Joint Motion is fair, reasonable, and supported by good 
cause. 
4. 
 I declare under penalty of perjury that that the foregoing is true and 
correct.  
Executed this 3rd day of May, 2024 in Burlingame, California. 
 
 
 
 
 
/s/ Connie K. Chan
