DECLARATION of PHILIP J. BERG, ESQUIRE I, Philip J. Berg, Esquire, am over the age of 18 and am a party to the within action. I have personal knowledge of the facts herein, and if called to do, I could and would competently testify. I am making this Declaration under the penalty of perjury of the Laws of the United States pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746. 1. I am an Attorney in good standing, licensed to practice law in the

Appeals; the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals; the Pennsylvania Supreme Court; and the U.S. Supreme Court. And, I am the Attorney of Record for all the Plaintiffs in this case. 2. I am making this Declaration in support of Plaintiffs Opposition to
Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc.s [Sankey Defendants] Motion to Withdraw the Admissions Deemed Admitted. 3. I had several conversations with Marc Colen, Esquire, attorney for
Neil Sankey, Todd Sankey, Sankey Investigations, Inc. and The Sankey Firm, Inc. in regards to their Initial Disclosures and Plaintiffs requested Discovery. 4. On January 20, 2012 I received a stack of documents from Mr. Colen
as the Sankey Defendants Initial Disclosures. Included in these documents were searches conducted directly through Accurint on Plaintiff Lisa Liberi on March 16, 2009, a true and correct copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 11. 5. This search on Plaintiff Lisa Liberi was run using Mrs. Liberis name
and address. The search on Mrs. Liberi returned Mrs. Liberis name; Social Security number, both old and new; date of birth; and addresses. Each name listed as belonging to Mrs. Liberi included Mrs. Liberis Social Security number and date of birth, although many of the names never belonged to or were used by Mrs.
I have redacted all personal information in the searches and reports conducted on all the Plaintiffs, which are attached as Exhibits to this Declaration. The actual documents received from the Sankey Defendants were not redacted.

Liberi. I have redacted Mrs. Liberis Social Security numbers and month and day of birth for this filing. As indicated by the Accurint search attached as EXHIBIT 1 this search was conducted directly in the Accurint database located at https://secure.accurint.com/app/bps/main by Neil Sankey by and through The Sankey Firm, Inc. As can be seen, the search on Liberi was conducted directly through Accurints database by Neil Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc. as depicted on EXHIBIT 1 on the bottom left of each page. 6. Plaintiff Lisa Liberis comprehensive consumer report obtained by
The Sankey Firm, Inc. on March 16, 2009 was included with the Sankey Defendants Initial Disclosures. See a true and correct copy of Liberis comprehensive report attached as EXHIBIT 2. Mrs. Liberis report contains her, name; every name ever used, including maiden; addresses; both her old and new Social Security numbers; date of birth; income, education, employment, home values, unlisted and unpublished telephone numbers; spouses name, date of birth, addresses, Social Security number; friends including their names, Social Security numbers, relatives including their friends, relatives, dates of birth, addresses, home value, income, education; Mrs. Liberis relatives including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, friends and relatives, including their Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home values, education, income, relative and friends information, every name ever used, including maiden names; income, home

19, 2009. See DN 491-2 at pp. 17-18, No. 53; and DN 491-1, p. 8, C(a). 10. On April 10, 2009, Neil Sankey from The Sankey Firm, Inc. sent an
Email to Reporter Bob Unruh of World Net Daily. This Email sent from The Sankey Firm, Inc. contained information taken from Plaintiff Liberis comprehensive consumer report, including but not limited to her name, her old and new Social Security numbers, date of birth, husbands name, Social Security number; and the names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of friends and relatives of Plaintiff Liberi. The Email even references Mr. Liberis sisters last name Heller. See a true and correct copy of this Email attached as EXHIBIT 4. 11. On April 13, 2009, Neil Sankey from The Sankey Firm, Inc.
forwarded a copy of the Email sent to Bob Unruh to Orly Taitz. See a true and correct copy attached hereto as EXHIBIT 5. Taitz repeatedly published
Plaintiff Liberis private data in a document she called Dossier No. 6 all over the Internet; by RSS Feeds; Friends Feeds; Social Networks; Mass Emailing; Hand Delivery; on her own website; discussed it in radio interviews; TV interviews; filed it with Law Enforcement; and filed it in her Court cases.

12.
Investigator with The Sankey Firm, Inc. admitted he obtained consumer reports on the Plaintiffs; and discussed credit items from Mrs. Liberis credit report. In particular was a loan Mrs. Liberi had just taken out for her sons first year of college. The transcript from this radio show has been filed numerous times with this Court and a copy of the entire interview was provided to Judge Robrenos Court on August 9, 2009.
13.
The Sankey Defendants did not turn over all the reports they
purchased on the Plaintiffs. I have demanded the additional reports, and missing pages, but the Sankey Defendants have refused to furnish them. 14. I served Plaintiffs First Set of Discovery on the Sankey Defendants
January 19, 2012 by way of Email and through the United States Postal Service, Priority Mail, signature required. Plaintiffs Discovery requests served upon Todd Sankey, The Sankey Firm, Inc., Neil Sankey and Sankey Investigations, Inc. were Interrogatories; Request for Production of Documents; and Requests for Admission. A true and correct copy of: A. Plaintiffs Request for Interrogatories served upon Todd Sankey is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 6; B. Plaintiffs Request for Production of Documents served upon Todd Sankey is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 7;

Plaintiffs Request for Production of Documents served upon The Sankey Firm, Inc. is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 10; and F. Plaintiffs Request for Admissions served upon The Sankey Firm, Inc. is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 11. 15. Mr. Colen acknowledged the discovery sent by Email on his clients.
See a true and correct copy of the Email attached as EXHIBIT 12 and signed for the hard copies of Plaintiffs Discovery on January 21, 2012, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 13. The Sankey Defendants Responses were due on or before February 21, 2012. This includes Neil Sankey and Sankey Investigations, Inc. who on March 9, 2012 filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. 16. On February 10, 2012, I received the Sankey Defendants discovery
propounded on Plaintiffs by way of Interrogatories and Four Hundred and Twenty Three [423] Requests for Production of Documents served separately upon each Plaintiff. Plaintiffs responses were due on or before March 12, 2012. Plaintiffs
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Responses to the Sankey Defendants Discovery were served on the Sankey Defendants March 9, 2012. 17. The Sankey Defendants failed to respond to any of the Plaintiffs
Discovery requests, including each of the Requests for Admission that were propounded. 18. On February 25, 2012, I sent an Email to Mr. Colen informing him of
Plaintiffs intent on filing a Motion for Summary Judgment. A true and correct copy of this Email is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 14. On February 27, 2012, instead of discussing the issues, Mr. Colen responded with a very immature Email, a true and correct copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 15. I responded to Mr. Colens Email stating he took his response as he did not agree with Plaintiffs intention of filing a Motion for Summary Judgment. See a true and correct copy attached hereto as EXHIBIT 16. I sought Leave of Court to file a Motion for Summary Judgment against the Sankey Defendants. See a true and correct copy attached hereto as EXHIBIT 17. 19. On March 1, 2012, Mr. Colen sent me an Email stating for
unanticipated reasons, the response to Plaintiffs Discovery requests were late, a true and correct copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 18. Mr. Colen stated Plaintiffs would receive the Sankey Defendants responses in two [2] weeks, which
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
would have been the 15th of March, 2012. Responses as promised. 20.
under Rule 36 and attached unsigned copies of Responses to Plaintiffs Requests for Admissions served upon Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc. Mr. Sankey stated he would be meeting with the Sankeys that Saturday and Plaintiffs would receive signed copies thereafter. A true and correct copy of Mr. Colens letter seeking Leave is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 19. 21. On March 26, 2012, I received faxed copies of Defendants Todd
Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc.s Responses to Plaintiffs Requests for Admissions, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 20. These responses varied from the ones provided to the Court on March 6, 2012. 22. To date, I have not received any responses from Defendants Neil
Sankey or Sankey Investigations, Inc. And, I have not received any Responses to Plaintiffs Interrogatories or Request for Production of Documents from Defendants Todd Sankey or The Sankey Firm, Inc. 23. Defendant Todd Sankey claims he was unaware his father was using
his Lexis Log-In and his Email @thesankeyfirm.com. Todd Sankey had to add Neil Sankey as an authorized user to his Accurint (Lexis) account and his
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
account with IRBsearch, LLC. Todd Sankey had to assign Neil Sankey a user ID, which he did assigning nsankey@thesankeyfirm.com. Same goes for Neil
Sankeys Email address of nsankey@thesankeyfirm.com, which was used as Neil Sankeys user name in The Sankey Firm, Inc.s accounts; Todd had to create and assign the Email address to Neil Sankey from his Email server. Each report purchased on the Plaintiffs, Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc. would have been billed for. Each Email sent and received by Neil Sankey would be stored in Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc.s Email server that Todd Sankey would have access to. 24. The Sankey Firm, Inc. has been aware of this law suit since May 6,
2009 when they were personally served with the Original Complaint. Neil Sankey continued using the Email address nsankey@thesankeyfirm.com through 2011. Neil Sankey was contacting DDA Secord in the San Bernardino County District Attorneys Office; the Santa Fe and San Bernardino County Probation Departments; Santa Fe Police Department; and other Defendants in this Case attempting to have Plaintiff Liberi arrested and jailed based on false allegations. 25. Discovery cut-off in this case was March 5, 2012. The Sankey
Defendants delayed their Motion until after Neil Sankey filed for Bankruptcy, knowing it was precluding Plaintiffs from obtaining any of the Discovery propounded on Neil Sankey and depriving the Plaintiffs the opportunity to depose
10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Neil Sankey. Neil Sankey is a key witness in this case as demonstrated by the Exhibits attached hereto and Exhibits filed in this case. 26. Neil Sankey provided a Declaration containing false and perjured
statements to the Reed Defendants in support of their Motion for Summary Judgment. See DN 494. However Plaintiffs are precluded from contacting Defendant Neil Sankey due to the Bankruptcy stay and the Sankey Defendants have refused to comply with Discovery. 27. I was out of the Office until Tuesday, April 17, 2012 due to surgery I
had. I did not receive the Sankey Defendants Motion to Withdraw until that time. The Sankey Defendants failed to provide twenty-eight [28] days Notice as required by the Courts Local Rules. 28. Should this Court grant the Defendants Motion and allow them to
Withdraw their Admissions Deemed Admitted, Plaintiffs will be severely prejudiced. Plaintiffs are unable to secure the Discovery they would need to properly litigate this case against Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc. as a result of their failure to produce and comply with Discovery and as a result of the Bankruptcy Stay as to Neil Sankey. // // // // // //

APPENDIX B To Plaintiffs First Requests for Production of Documents: ESI Guidelines These Guidelines are intended solely to facilitate the production of Electronically Stored Information [ESI] pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to avoid misunderstandings concerning ESI, and to highlight good-faith disagreements about ESI so that they may be promptly resolved. They are not intended to expand (or contract) counsels obligations under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or applicable local rules or court orders.

1.
What ESI Is. ESI includes: e-mail; text messaging (corporate and
internet based); voice messaging systems; electronic files stored on servers, desktops, laptops, and other removable media; and electronic data stored in databases. 2. Email Collection. During collection of e-mail the complete mailbox
should be captured. This includes sent folders, deleted folders, archived folders, and all other folder structures within a mailbox. 3. Purging Systems. Self-purging or sweep-and-keep policies are
often implemented on an organizations e-mail system. A self-purging system automatically deletes e-mail messages located in specific folders after a certain number of days. Sweep-and-keep systems collect and retain all incoming or
outgoing e-mail, regardless of content. Self-purging systems should be deactivated if they are in violation of the litigation hold. Sweep-and-keep systems need not be deactivated, but steps should be taken to ensure that the swept and kept e-mail is collected as part of the collection of e-mail generally. 4. Locations of ESI. All network servers, desktops and laptops,
removable media (e.g., hand held devices, iPods, thumb or flash drives, external hard drives, tape, CD or DVD) containing ESI should be considered during collection. In addition, counsel should not overlook these locations for ESI: Remote Locations. Branch, satellite, or subsidiary offices.

Internal Websites. Often organizations implement internal or intranet websites, which, of course, contain ESI. Third Party Storage. Off-site or third-party data storage either in physical removable media or real-time data hosting/archive (e.g., email archival services provided by SANTAZ, Inc. or Iron Mountain Incorporated). Personal Computers. Employees or contractors personal computers often contain EFS. Former Employees. ESI from transferred or past employees may have been moved from a shared location to a separate employee archive location. Old Systems. Decommissioned or old computer systems no longer in use may contain ESI and should also be considered during collection.

INSTRUCTIONS
Defendant Todd Sankeys Responses to these Requests for Admissions shall specifically admit or deny each separately stated matter, or set forth in detail the reasons why Todd Sankey cannot truthfully admit or deny the matter.

Todd Sankey may not give lack of information or knowledge as a reason for failure to admit or deny unless Todd Sankey states that they made reasonable inquiry and that the information known or readily obtainable by them is insufficient to enable him to admit or deny. If in responding to these Requests for Admission Todd Sankey considers that a matter of which an admission has been requested presents a genuine issue for trial, he may not on that ground alone object to the Request. Defendant Todd Sankey is further advised that each matter hereinafter set forth will be deemed admitted by them unless, within thirty [30] days after being served therewith they serve upon Plaintiffs counsel their written answer or objection addressed to the matter and signed by Todd Sankey or their attorney.

APPENDIX B To Plaintiffs First Requests for Production of Documents: ESI Guidelines These Guidelines are intended solely to facilitate the production of Electronically Stored Information [ESI] pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to avoid misunderstandings concerning ESI, and to highlight good-faith disagreements about ESI so that they may be promptly resolved. They are not intended to expand (or contract) counsels obligations under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or applicable local rules or court orders.

1.
What ESI Is. ESI includes: e-mail; text messaging (corporate and
internet based); voice messaging systems; electronic files stored on servers, desktops, laptops, and other removable media; and electronic data stored in databases. 2. Email Collection. During collection of e-mail the complete mailbox
should be captured. This includes sent folders, deleted folders, archived folders, and all other folder structures within a mailbox. 3. Purging Systems. Self-purging or sweep-and-keep policies are
often implemented on an organizations e-mail system. A self-purging system automatically deletes e-mail messages located in specific folders after a certain number of days. Sweep-and-keep systems collect and retain all incoming or
outgoing e-mail, regardless of content. Self-purging systems should be deactivated if they are in violation of the litigation hold. Sweep-and-keep systems need not be deactivated, but steps should be taken to ensure that the swept and kept e-mail is collected as part of the collection of e-mail generally. 4. Locations of ESI. All network servers, desktops and laptops,
removable media (e.g., hand held devices, iPods, thumb or flash drives, external hard drives, tape, CD or DVD) containing ESI should be considered during collection. In addition, counsel should not overlook these locations for ESI: Remote Locations. Branch, satellite, or subsidiary offices.

Internal Websites. Often organizations implement internal or intranet websites, which, of course, contain ESI. Third Party Storage. Off-site or third-party data storage either in physical removable media or real-time data hosting/archive (e.g., email archival services provided by SANTAZ, Inc. or Iron Mountain Incorporated). Personal Computers. Employees or contractors personal computers often contain EFS. Former Employees. ESI from transferred or past employees may have been moved from a shared location to a separate employee archive location. Old Systems. Decommissioned or old computer systems no longer in use may contain ESI and should also be considered during collection.

INSTRUCTIONS
Defendant The Sankey Firms Responses to these Requests for Admissions shall specifically admit or deny each separately stated matter, or set forth in detail the reasons why The Sankey Firm cannot truthfully admit or deny the matter. A denial shall fairly meet the substance of the requested Admission, and when good faith requires that The Sankey Firm qualify its answer or deny only a part of the matter of which an admission is requested, The Sankey Firm shall specify so much of it as is true and qualify or deny the remainder. The Sankey Firm may not give lack of information or knowledge as a reason for failure to admit or deny unless The Sankey Firm states that they made reasonable inquiry and that the information known or readily obtainable by them is insufficient to enable him to admit or deny. If in responding to these Requests for Admission The Sankey Firm considers that a matter of which an admission has been requested presents a genuine issue for trial, he may not on that ground alone object to the Request. Defendant The Sankey Firm is further advised that each matter hereinafter set forth will be deemed admitted by them unless, within thirty [30] days after being served therewith they serve upon Plaintiffs counsel their written answer or objection addressed to the matter and signed by The Sankey Firm or their attorney. Further, if said Defendant denies any matter herein sought to be admitted and Plaintiff later proves a document to be genuine or the matter true, Plaintiff may

I request the courtesy of a Response to this communication no later than the end of business, Monday, February 27, 2012. If I do not hear from you by then, I will move forward and seek Leave of Court to file a Motion for Summary Judgment against the Sankey Defendants. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Phil,
You need not send text in bold font. My eyes are not what they were, but I can read small text on my two computer screens. In any event, it is annoying. This manner of this response merely as an example of annoying text and not intended as a personal or professional slight.
The following are a few comments; these and more will be used to respond to your threatened request to the Court.
I doubt that the Judge will look fondly on a Meet and Confer sent over the weekend and thus on a Monday morning should have a deadline to respond on the same day. Your deadlines have been and obviously continue to be without merit. I believe that your conduct is sanctionable; that you have Liberi doyour work will not be an excuse. Well certainly find out.
Whether a particular allegation is a material fact will be open to question and your ability to establish anything at this point is minuscule or less, as you will see. Declarations by Liberi will be challenged: she is s convicted felon and her convictions include fraud. They will be discounted.
A MSJ is not going to happen until our discovery is complete. You have not provided responses to our discovery and I suspect that your responses will require motions to compel. Delaying your responses until the deadline or responding in an inadequate manner is not to your advantage. last Sending me inappropriate replies that require
316
motions to compel will delay your MSJ further. Somehow I think that I will be filing such motions.

Marc, In response to your Email, I sent the Email over the weekend so you would have it first thing this morning. I requested a response that you received my Email by the end of Monday, February 27, 2012, which you did. You, as an Attorney, always have the right to respond that a different date or time is needed, which you did not do. As for your disagreements with Plaintiffs filing a Summary Judgment Motion, I take this to mean you are not in agreement and disagree. Therefore, I will proceed forward and seek leave of Court to file Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment against your clients. A Summary Judgment Motion can be brought at any time.

Dear Judge Guilford: Defendants The Sankey Firm, Inc. and Todd Sankey request that this Honorable Court permit these Defendants to file a Motion pursuant to Rule 36 on the bases that the admissions are contrary to the actual facts, that the presentation of the case on the merits will be precluded and that there will be no prejudice to the Plaintiffs. The Sankey Defendants There are two distinct groups within the Sankey Defendants. The first group is comprised of Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm, Inc. which will henceforth be referred to as TSF. The second group is comprised of Neil Sankey and his own company, Sankey Investigations, Inc. They will be filing for bankruptcy protection within a week. This letter and the proposed motion is thus confined to TSF. Immediate Acknowledgement of Error As a result of a failure of our calendaring system and consequently my own error, we failed to respond to the Plaintiffs discovery in a timely fashion. As

Honorable Andrew J. Guilford Judge, United States District Court March 7, 2011 Page 2
soon as we so determined, I sent an email to Mr. Berg stating our acknowledgement of error and that we would respond fully to his entire voluminous discovery without objection within 14 days [despite that the limit of 25 interrogatories is exceeded by many hundreds and that the requests for admissions are improper]. Responses Sent herewith are the Responses to the Request for Admissions. They are currently unsigned; the first day that Todd Sankey and I can meet is Saturday after which the originals will be sent to the Plaintiffs counsel with copies to counsel. ARGUMENT A. The Requests are Contrary to the Actual Facts
1. There is no relationship between TSF and the work performed by Neil Sankey, Todds father, for Orly Taitz. Neil Sankey worked for Orly Taitz on a project of their mutual interest, the President Obama birth certificate issue. 2. TSF has never had any interest in the Obama birth certificate issue and never did any work concerning that issue. 3. TSF has never been retained by Orly Taitz to do any work for her, never volunteered to do so and never did any such work. 4. Todd Sankey admits a single Request which requested of an admission that Neil Sankey is not a licensed private investigator for The Sankey Firm. This is precisely TSFs contention. That is shown on the copy of the Responses sent herewith. 5. The Sankey Firm admits three Requests of which two are effectively identical. The non-duplicative Request is the same as the one as for Todd Sankey; The Sankey Firm agrees that Neil Sankey is not a licensed private investigator for The Sankey Firm. The duplicative Request desires the admission that private investigators are regulated by the California Bureau of
334
Honorable Andrew J. Guilford Judge, United States District Court March 7, 2011 Page 3 Security and Investigative Services. No substantive admissions were made. That
is shown on the copy of the Responses sent herewith. 6. The conclusions of law that are simply wrong.
7. No acquisiti0n of information concerning the Plaintiffs was performed by Todd Sankey or The Sankey Firm. 8. No dissemination of purportedly confidential information was performed by Todd Sankey or The Sankey Firm. B. These Defendants Will Be Precluded for Presenting their Case on Its Merits Upholding the [deemed] admissions would practically eliminate any presentation of the merits of the case. Conlon v. U.S., 474 F.3d 616, 622 (9th Cir. 2007). If the Plaintiffs are deserving of prevailing on a Motion for Summary Judgment than they should do so on the basis of the merits of this case. C. There is No Prejudice to the Plaintiffs
Plaintiffs will obtain far more information than they would have received if the responses had been timely. The facts upon which TSF bases its nonadmissions, the relevant witnesses and the documents supporting the nonadmissions, none of which would have been provided because TSF last lost the ability to object to the astronomical amount of interrogatories and subparts. D. A Motion for Summary Judgment is Not Timely in any Event
1. Plaintiffs have not yet responded to the Sankey Defendants discovery and no Motion for Summary Judgment against them can proceed until all the entirety of their discovery is completed. It appears highly likely that the Responses by the Defendants will be problematic because of Mr. Bergs
335
Honorable Andrew J. Guilford Judge, United States District Court March 7, 2011 Page 4
conflict derived from his role as both a plaintiff and as counsel for the remaining Plaintiffs counsel and the Responses will not be appropriate. It seems reasonably likely that one or more motions to compel will be required to resolve these issues. 2. No discovery could be had from the Taitz defendants because of the Stay. That discovery is critical to the defense of this action. CONCLUSION In view of the foregoing, I respectfully request leave of Court to file a Motion pursuant to Rule 36 to allow Todd Sankey and The Sankey Firm to properly respond to Plaintiffs Requests for Admissions. That objections were waived is not disputed. Respectfully yours,
