 1          I, Andre Mura, declare under penalty of perjury:
 2          1.     I am a member in good standing of the Bar of California and the bar of this
 3   Court. I am a partner at Gibbs Law Group LLP in Oakland, California, and represent
 4   Plaintiffs in this matter. Plaintiffs respectfully request leave to file an amended complaint. I
 5   offer this declaration in support of Plaintiffs’ motion.
 6          2.     On the evening of Sunday, November 6, 2022, Plaintiffs’ counsel sent Thomson
 7   Reuters’ counsel a letter seeking their written consent to file the proposed amended
 8   complaint, pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2). Plaintiffs attached a redline version of a working draft of
 9   proposed amended complaint showing the proposed changes from the original complaint.
10   The letter requested a response by noon on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
11          3.     On the afternoon of Tuesday, November 8, I asked counsel for Thomson
12   Reuters, Ms. Fahringer, via email for Defendant’s position. Counsel responded that Thomson
13   Reuters was still digesting Plaintiffs’ proposed changes and may not have an answer before
14   the filing deadline of Wednesday, November 8. In response, I asked counsel for Thomson
15   Reuters that if it is able to state its final position by 4:00 pm PT on Wednesday, November 9,
16   to please do so. Thomson Reuters did not provide any futher response.
17          I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on
18   November 9, 2022.
