I, Matthew K. Edling, declare as follows: 1. I am an attorney duly licensed by the State of California and am admitted to
practice before this Court. I am an associate of the law firm of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, attorneys of record for plaintiff Nuts for Candy. The matters set forth herein are within my personal knowledge, and if called and sworn as a witness I could competently testify regarding them. I make this declaration pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746. 2. On June 9th, 2008, our firm filed a complaint in the Northern District of
California on behalf of our client Nuts for Candy. This complaint was the first complaint on file in any judicial district relating to tying arrangements of WEBKINZ products and "core line" products from Ganz Inc. and Ganz U.S.A. ("Defendants"). The complaint was attached as Exhibit A to Steven N. Williams Declaration In Support of Plaintiff's Interim Lead Counsel Motion. 3. On July 11, 2008, Plaintiff Cortes Country Stores, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the
Massachusetts District Court alleging that Ganz, Inc. and Ganz U.S.A. LLC participated in an illegal tying arrangement. The allegations in the complaint filed by Plaintiff Cortes Country Stores against Ganz are substantially identical to the allegations in the Nuts for Candy Action. A copy of this complaint is attached as Exhibit A. 4. On July 22, 2008, Plaintiffs Scott and Sherri Comstock d/b/a The Cheshire Cat
and The Spotted Crocodile, filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division against Ganz, Inc. and Ganz U.S.A. LLC. The allegations in that complaint are substantially identical to those in the Nuts for Candy Action and in the Cortes Country Stores action. A copy of this complaint is attached as Exhibit B. 5. On July 30, 2008, Nuts for Candy filed with the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict
Litigation a Motion for Transfer and Consolidation of Related Actions to the Northern District of California Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407 for Coordinated Consolidated Pretrial Proceedings. A copy of this motion was attached as Exhibit C to the Declaration of Lisa I. Carteen in Support of Defendants' Opposition To Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Interim Lead Counsel.
