1 DECLARATION OF ROBERT BRETZ, ESQ.


2

3
I, ROBERT H. BRETZ, ESQ., hereby declare as follows:
4
1. I am attorney of record for Marco Glisson and I am otherwise competent to provide
5
the within testimony based on my own personal knowledge.
6

7 2. On October 29, 2010, the Court granted the SEC’s motion to reopen discovery

8 concerning Marco Glisson.


9
3. Thereafter, the SEC issued its notice and request for production of documents to
10
Glisson and subpoena to Thidarat Tungswongsathong (Glisson’s wife) covering their
11

12
appearances on December 10 and 11, 2010, in Fort Meyers, Florida (near where they live).

13 4. Prior to the Court’s October 29th Order, Glisson had timely appeared for testimony as
14 requested by the SEC in Los Angeles on two prior occasions during the course of the
15
investigation and legal proceedings.
16
5. Several days prior to the scheduled December 10 and 11th appearance dates, I notified
17

18 the SEC (herein Paris Wynn, Esq.) that Thidarat Tungswongsathong was forced to undergo

19 (emergency) major surgery on December 8, 2010. which would naturally preclude her
20
appearance on December 10th and that Marco Glisson wanted to attend to his wife’s medical
21
situation requiring a continuance of the scheduled depositions and document production as a
22
result of such medical situation.
23

24 6. Shortly thereafter, following consultation with Thidarat Tungswongsathong’s doctors,

25 I was informed and notified the SEC that Marco Glisson and Thidarat Tungswongsathong would
26
be able to appear for their depositions and production in Los Angeles on January 10 and 11, 2011
27
(as they had previously offered to accommodate Los Angles based counsel for both parties).
28
This plan was agreeable to the SEC and was confirmed by the parties in writing.

3
Case 2:09-cv-00104-LDG-GWF Document 44 Filed 01/10/11 Page 4 of 5

1 7. As requested, I provided the SEC with hospital admittance and discharge


2
documentation evidencing Thidarat Tungswongsathong’s surgery on December 8, 2010.
3
8. Prior to the bringing of the SEC’s motion, I reconfirmed to the SEC that Marco
4

5 Glisson and Thidarat Tungswongsathong had booked air transportation to Los Angeles for their

6 appearances in Los Angeles on January 10 and 11, 2011, which would go forward as scheduled.
7
9. On December 27, 2010, I provided the SEC in excess of 250 pages of documents
8
being produced pursuant to the notice and subpoena, and I informed the SEC at that time, and
9
thereafter, that additional documents including e-mails would be forthcoming in advance of the
10

11 appearances.

12 10. Prior to the appearances on January 10, 2011, I provided the SEC with an additional
13
350 plus pages of documents being produced by the witnesses.
14
11. I have no explanation as to why the SEC felt the need to initiate the instant Motion
15
prior to the agreed upon appearances and additional/final production prior to January 10, 2011.
16

17 This Declaration is made and given under penalty of perjury. This Declaration is

18 executed in Los Angeles County, California, on January 10, 2011.
