Ari,
You have my consent to file these two Stipulations and [Proposed] Order.
Separately, I ask you to confirm whether Wilmer Hale will or will not accept service of the
Complaint and Summons (and related documents) on behalf of your client Mark
Zuckerberg.
Also, I ask all counsel to confirm whether your will or will not accept electronic service of
the attached Order reassigning the case to Judge Illston (Dkt #14), and Order re Initial
Case Management Conference (Dkt #15), thus obviating the need and expense of separate
service.
Earlier I suggested a follow-up phone conference for next Wednesday, September 16, at
11:30am PT to discuss amended Section 3.2, and we agreed to calendar a separate call with
Poynter/Politifact counsel to discuss (at least initially) the appropriate ESI-retention
protocols for this case.

Please confirm the September 16 phone call or suggest another day/time you would
prefer for the Section 3.2 discussion, and another day/time for the initial ESI-related
discussion.
I have outlined why I believe both these discussions should be held before October 1, and
I would appreciate hearing your views on scheduling these initial discussions.
Sincerely,
Roger Teich

Sonal,
Attached, our revisions in Track Changes to the two Stipulations, [Proposed] Order, and
your declaration. You have our consent to file these pleadings only as revised.
I look forward to working with you, too. In normal times, it would still be difficult to file
jointly the same day if we receive the drafts at or after the close of business eastern time
where Children's Health Defense and its general counsel are located. And, these are not
normal times. I'm in Mendocino County right now.
We will not agree to continue the November 20, 2020 case management conference at this
time. In particular, we have concerns about ESI retention and protocols in this case for
which the Local Rules contemplate a specific meet and confer, and stipulation.
We also believe that such stipulation should commit your clients not to apply amended
Section 3.2 of Facebook's Terms of Service (effective October 1, 2020) to Children's Health
Defense during the pendency of this litigation, for reasons we can discuss at the ESI-meet
and confer.
I look forward to discussing this matter with you at 11:30am today.
best,
Roger Teich

Hi All,
Case 3:20-cv-05787-SI Document 43-9 Filed 09/24/20 Page 6 of 7

This will memorialize our phone call just now in which we agreed to a schedule in which
(1) your client defendants will file responses to the Complaint by Friday, October 23, 2020;
and (2) plaintiff will file its opposition to any motion to dismiss by Monday, December 7,
2020, subject to plaintiff's good cause for any further extension.
For our part, this agreement assumes that Sonal will also be representing Mark
Zuckerberg individually, and that his response and plaintiff's responsive pleading (if any)
will be governed by the stipulation. Please confirm at your early convenience.
We think it would be useful to hold another conference call next week to discuss a few
early case management issues which are likely to arise. There is also a separate issue
concerning Facebook only which we wish to take up with Sonal , perhaps at the end of the
call.
How is Wednesday, September 9, at 11:30am PT/ 2:30 pm ET for a (no more than) 30-
minute discussion?
Here is dial-in we can use --
Dial-In Number: 515-603-3171
