I, Simon S. Grille, hereby declare under penalty of perjury: 
1. 
I am a Partner at the law firm Girard Sharp LLP. I submit this declaration in support of 
the Joint Stipulation Regarding Deadline to Respond to the Petition. I make this declaration based on my 
own personal knowledge. If called to do so, I could and would testify to the matters contained herein. 
2. 
On July 1, 2024, Womply filed its Petition to Confirm Arbitration Award and sent copies 
to counsel for Benworth by email and mail (ECF No. 1).  
3. 
On July 5, 2024, counsel for Benworth agreed to accept service of process pursuant to 
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d)(3). See ECF No. 15. 
4. 
On July 17–18, 2024, counsel for Womply and counsel for Benworth met and conferred 
by email regarding the deadline to respond to the Petition. 
5. 
The parties dispute the deadline for Benworth to respond to Womply’s petition. 
Womply’s position is that the applicable deadline is July 19, 2024 and is agreeing to extend it to July 
23, 2024.  Benworth’s position is that the applicable deadline is September 3, 2024.  Both Parties reserve 
all rights with respect to whether the deadline is July 23, 2024 or thereafter. 
6. 
The stipulated deadline for Benworth to respond to the Petition is no earlier than July 23, 
2024. 
7. 
Benworth reserves its rights to seek clarification and/or further relief from this Court 
regarding its deadline to respond to the Petition.  Womply opposes any further extension of Benworth’s 
deadline to respond to the Petition. 
8. 
The following scheduling modification occurred in this case:  
a. 
On July 16, the Court vacated the ADR and Rule 26 discovery deadlines set by 
the Initial Case Management Scheduling Order (ECF No. 20). 
9. 
No other schedule has been entered for the case. 
 
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true 
and correct. Executed this July 18, 2024 at San Francisco, California. 
 
/s/ Simon S. Grille
