Defendant.
Michael J. Avenatti, being duly sworn, hereby deposes and says as follows:
2. Earlier today, I was named as a finalist for Public Justice’s Trial Lawyer of the
Year Award as a result of the $454 Million class action jury verdict I obtained last year in
Federal District Court (Hon. D. Gee) on behalf of surgeons, nurses, hospitals and trauma centers
that had been defrauded. As I am sure the Court is well aware, Public Justice pursues high
impact lawsuits to combat social and economic injustice, protect the Earth’s sustainability, and
challenge predatory corporate conduct and government abuses. The group presents its Trial
Lawyer of the Year award to the attorney(s) who made the greatest contribution to the public
interest within the past year by trying or settling a precedent-setting, socially significant case. A
true and correct copy of the announcement from Public Justice is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3. By way of his submission earlier today, Mr. Cohen has brought to the Court’s
attention a number of alleged irrelevant “facts.” [Dkt. No. 66] In the interest of conserving this
Court’s invaluable time, we will not respond to every inaccuracy but we do wish to inform the
A. The firm of Eagan Avenatti, LLP is not the law firm for Ms.
Daniels in this matter or any other matter nor have they ever represented Ms. Daniels.
with malice, oppression and fraud. Rather, the panel permitted a former non-equity
partner of the firm to amend his arbitration claim for punitive damages and seek such a
finding. The arbitration was subsequently dismissed by the agreement of all parties and
therefore no final orders were ever issued. Accordingly this is a red herring designed to
distract the Court away from the simple issues associated with the pro hac vice
application.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
true and correct. Executed this 29th day of May 2018, at New York, New York.
