PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 1

I. NATURE AND STAGE OF PROCEEDING

This Court certified the plaintiff class in this RICO case on January 13, 2014 [Dkt. 169]. On

October 17, 2017, the Fifth Circuit issued its mandate in light of the Supreme Court’s refusal to

review the Fifth Circuit’s September 30, 2016, en banc opinion upholding this Court’s class

certification order.

While this case was stayed during the pendency of the defendants’ appeals, on June 11, 2015

class representative Eugene Neil Robison died. Therefore, on October 19, 2017, the plaintiffs filed

a motion to substitute class representative pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(a), Chris Robison, the son

and executor for deceased class representative Eugene Robison, and to elevate an additional class

member to serve as a named class representative plaintiff, class member Lucas Thomas, pursuant to

Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2) [Dkt. 228].

On November 8, 2017, the Court issued an order granting the plaintiffs’ motion to substitute

and add the class representative [Dkt. 236].

The parties eventually settled at mediation, and on March 26, 2018, the parties filed an agreed

motion to suspend proceedings in this case in light of their settlement and the associated, then-

forthcoming settlement approval filings (Dkt. 283). This Court granted that motion the following day,

setting deadlines for the settlement approval filings (Dkt. 284).

On June 28, 2018, the Court issued an order granting preliminary approval of settlement and

setting certain deadlines including a Final Fairness Hearing set for October 4, 2018, and a deadline for

the filing of applications for attorney fees and expenses for September 12, 2018 (75 days from the

preliminary approval date on June 28, 2018) (Dkt. 290 at 10, para. 31).

Class Attorney-in-charge Prebeg and PFA now hereby submit their firm’s application for

attorney’s fee and expenses.

II. STATEMENT OF ISSUES PRESENTED

Should the Court grant the application for attorneys’ fees and costs in service of the plaintiffs

and certified plaintiff class in the referenced matter? [Proposed Answer: Yes]

III. INTRODUCTION AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Class attorney-in-charge Prebeg and his firm PFA (collectively, “the PFA attorneys”) make

this application for payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the representation of the

named plaintiffs and certified class. Prebeg and PFA partners Christopher Faucett (“Faucett”) and

Stephen Abbott (“Abbott”) were partners in the firm formerly named ClearmanPrebeg LLP, now

named CP Windup LLP (“CP”), with former CP partner and also appointed class counsel Scott

Clearman. This application includes a request for fees earned and expenses incurred by both PFA

and the PFA partners while at CP. PFA invested a total of $54,693.24 and CP invested a total of

$177,152.19, all in expenses needed to pursue this case. Of the CP expenses, 75% belong to PFA per

a partnership agreement. Petitioners specifically request an award of attorneys’ fees in the amount of

$3,164,170, and costs in the amount of $ 187,557.38, for a total award figure of $ 3,351,727.

Petitioners are not seeking any percentage of fees from any incentive amount or other amount

individually awarded to class representatives Christopher Robison or Lucas Thomas, or from plaintiff

Juan Ramon Torres. Petitioners seek fees from the funds defendants agreed to pay for fees in the

settlement agreement, as a result of the pursuit and settlement of this class action for payments to the

remainder of the class members.

Attorney Jeff Burnett had the initial client relationship with original named plaintiffs Torres

and Robison and, because his practice was not primarily involved in litigation, first associated Scott

Clearman and his firm at the time, The Clearman Law Firm (“TCLF”) to explore filing suit. At the

time, TCLF consisted of two attorneys: Scott Clearman and his associate Brian Walsh. Burnett and

TCLF then collaborated in having TCLF initially file this suit in 2009.

Page 8: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 3

This Court initially dismissed the case for improper venue in favor of arbitration in November

2009 (Dkt. Nos. 36-37), and TCLF appealed (Dkt. 38). Brian Walsh left TCLF sometime in late 2010

while the case was on appeal. Walsh and TCLF, however, did not immediately file a notice of

withdrawal and substitution for Walsh. Brent Caldwell joined TCLF as an associate attorney in

October 2010 after Mr. Walsh had left the firm.

In December 2010, while this matter was still on appeal with the Fifth Circuit, Clearman

formed Clearman Prebeg, LLP, now known as CP Windup LLP, with partners Prebeg, Faucett, and

Abbott. Caldwell continued working as an associate, now for CP. The CP partnership agreement

provided that distributions of fees earned at CP are divided equally among the partners, i.e. 25% to

each CP partner. (see CP partnership agreement, Ex. A-1.) At the time of formation, each of the four

CP partners were already lead counsel in various litigation matters and they agreed fees that might

result from those matters, which were not already earned and owing to the partner, would be

committed to CP (except two particular cases previously developed by Mr. Clearman). Mr. Clearman

specifically committed any and all fees that might result from the instant case (referenced simply as

the “Stream” case) would be owned by CP since almost all of the resources for litigation and expenses

would necessarily occur after CP began operation. Prebeg, Faucett, and Abbott, in reliance on this

agreement, placed the fees from their ongoing cases into CP for the benefit of each of the four partners.

On April 1, 2011, the Fifth Circuit reversed this Court’s dismissal in favor of arbitration (Dkt.

Nos. 43-45). The defendants eventually appealed the Fifth Circuit order in 2011 to the U.S. Supreme

Court (see, e.g., Dkt. 52, 54), and the petition for certiorari was refused by the Supreme Court in

October 2011 (Dkt. 58).

On May 24, 2011, Brian Walsh and CP filed a notice of withdrawal and substitution of

counsel, whereby Walsh officially withdrew and substituting for him CP and its attorneys (Dkt. Nos.

48-49).

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 4

After the Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition for certiorari in October 2011 and

the case returned to this court for litigation to begin in earnest, Prebeg and Burnett also filed notices

of appearance (Dkt. Nos. 63, 65) in early December 2011.

In reviewing Mr. Clearman’s response to the fee petitions submitted to this Court by

Kochanowski and Burnett (Dkt. 296), it is apparent that petitioners should provide some explanation

concerning Mr. Clearman’s work in this case. During 2011, petitioners noticed that Mr. Clearman’s

ability to function was slowly and steadily declining. They learned this was due to a substance abuse

problem, believed to be mostly or entirely caused by the consumption of alcohol. By the time this

case became active again in 2011, Mr. Clearman, who was the designated attorney-in-charge, was

severely struggling with substance abuse issues. His condition was characterized by extreme

paranoia, highly aggressive behavior, delusional thinking, memory loss and the inability to remember

important facts, and the inability to accomplish complex, and at times even simple, tasks. At times

Mr. Clearman was rational and productive, and at other times he was not.

Mr. Clearman had been a successful commercial litigator, and had vastly more experience

with class actions than any of his CP partners. Petitioners recognize that his contributions to this case,

including the filing of the original complaint and his insights into procedure and strategy in class

actions, are valuable. However, as time progressed, the periods of his inability to accomplish tasks

diminished, so petitioners were required to monitor his work product to protect the interests of the

clients, and reduce the potential for liability. Brent Caldwell, Matthew Prebeg, Christopher Faucett,

and Stephen Abbott became more involved in this case to ensure that important tasks were completed

and deadlines met.

Eventually it became clear that petitioners needed additional counsel to take a lead role in

accomplishing the tasks required to successfully resolve this case. So, in December 2012 CP

associated attorneys from the Detroit, Michigan law firm, Sommers PC, including Andy

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 9 of 28

Page 10: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 5

Kochanowski, to participate in representing the plaintiffs and then-putative class (see Dkt. Nos. 80-

86). Prebeg had known Kochanowski for years prior, and knew he had experience with both RICO

and pyramid scheme cases. Prebeg was also aware that Kochanowki’s partners had substantial

experience with class actions, in particular Lance Young. Mr. Clearman agreed to the joinder of Mr.

Kochanowski and his firm, and prepared and signed an interfirm agreement accordingly. (See Ex. A-

2.)

In 2013, as Mr. Clearman’s participation continued to decline as his substance abuse issues

worsened, the other CP attorneys, along with Jeff Burnett and Sommers PC attorneys including

Kochanowski, continued to litigate the case. Mr. Clearman’s interactions with defense counsel

became increasingly harmful, which eventually resulted in a motion for sanctions being filed against

him. (Dkt. 92). As a result of Mr. Clearman’s substance abuse issues and his inability to manage his

law practice, the plaintiffs requested in writing that Mr. Clearman be removed as attorney-in-charge,

and requested that Prebeg replace him. (See Dkt. 140). Petitioners continued to hope that Mr.

Clearman would eventually commit to seeking rehabilitation treatment for his condition, for his own

sake, and so that petitioners might have the benefit of his class action experience. Petitioners,

Kochanowski, and Burnett developed this case through the important class certification briefing in

September 2013 and class certification hearing on November 6, 2013 (Dkt. 149). Mr. Clearman

briefly appeared at the class certification hearing, disheveled, and largely incoherent. Prebeg brought

him into the hallway, tied his tie for him, and asked him to go home because of his condition. He

complied.

In late 2013, the partners other than Clearman in CP (Prebeg, Faucett, Abbott), concluded it

was not professionally or economically feasible to remain in a partnership with Mr. Clearman, and

formed a new firm Prebeg, Faucett & Abbott, PLLC (“PFA”) effective in January of 2014, and

initiated procedures to wind up CP. CP’s entire staff, including associates and secretarial support

Page 11: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 6

staff, also left CP to join PFA. This included Caldwell, who left CP’s employ and began employment

with PFA at the same time. PFA and Caldwell filed a Notice of Change of Address and Firm

Affiliation with this Court on February 4, 2014 (Dkt. 175).

Near the time the PFA attorneys formed PFA and began winding up CP, on January 13, 2014,

this Court certified the class (Dkt. 169). Shortly thereafter, defendants filed a Rule 23(f) motion for

leave to file interlocutory appeal to the Fifth Circuit, which the appellate court quickly granted, and

thereafter stayed all further proceedings in this case (Dkt. 196-198).

Kochanowski and Prebeg realized that the interests of the class were best served by engaging

a nationally recognized firm specializing in federal appeals, including potential appeals to the United

States Supreme Court. They eventually agreed the Washington, D.C. firm of Goldstein & Russell,

PC could make a significant contribution to the case. Class counsel attempted to reach agreement

among all counsel on the case regarding the terms of Goldstein & Russel’s engagement, and Prebeg

and Kochanowski proposed the arrangement set out in Ex. A-3. This proposal recognized that the

terms of the division of fees would be subject to any required approval, but the attorneys would

encourage such a division. All counsel agreed and signed this arrangement, except for Mr. Clearman.

At the time, petitioners understood that the only disagreement he had concerning the fee division was

that Mr. Clearman would eventually demand some higher portion of the fees that would otherwise be

paid to CP. Mr. Clearman’s notations of his comments to that proposed agreement are overwritten

on Ex. A-3 At this time, petitioners are not aware of any concrete proposal by Mr. Clearman to

resolve that issue.

Without Mr. Clearman’s assent to a written agreement to engage the Goldstein & Russell firm,

and with appellate work needing immediate attention, Kochanowski and Prebeg entered into the

agreement attached as Ex. A-4. The targeted fee terms in that agreement were later agreed to by class

representative Lucas Thomas, and were consistent with the agreement that Prebeg, Kochanowski, and

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 11 of 28

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 7

Burnett previously agreed to. If the Court were to award the $10,275,000 in fees provided in the

settlement agreement, the approximate division among counsel, pursuant to that agreement, would be

as follows (of course subject to all required approval):

Firm Percentage Amount

Goldstein & Russell 17.3% $1,730,000

Sommers PC 20.15% $2,015,019

Jeffrey Burnett 17% $1,700,000

Prebeg, Faucett & Abbott 34.15% $3,415,743

The Clearman Law Firm 1.14% $1,139,019

While this case was stayed, Eugene Robison became very ill. By March of 2014, Eugene

Robison was diagnosed with lung cancer. Between April and approximately November of 2014,

Eugene Robison was undergoing aggressive treatment for lung cancer, including proton therapy,

chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. He thereafter stopped these treatments. Eugene Robison died

on June 11, 2015. Petitioners realized Juan Ramon Torres could not be a class representative, and

would not be a class member, the only appointed class representative, Eugene Robison was sick and

then died, and that they therefore had no appointed class representative. However, the case was stayed

and any notice to the Court of Mr. Robison’s death during the stay period was opposed by defendants.

Mr. Clearman brought suit against his former partners in Harris County District Court on

January 28, 2014. They eventually counterclaimed and filed a separate lawsuit on behalf of CP against

Mr. Clearman, and the parties signed an agreement to resolve those matters on March 7, 2016. The

terms of that agreement were designated confidential by all parties to the agreement. However,

petitioners note that, at Mr. Clearman’s insistence, any dispute over fees in this Stream case was not a

part of that settlement.

Since the end of 2013, and until shortly after this case was finally remanded to this Court in

October 2017, Mr. Clearman was largely unable to perform significant work on the case. However,

without notice to the plaintiffs or his co-counsel in this case, he file a competing class action, Griggs

v. SGE Management, LLC, et al., Case No. 1:15-cv-422, in the United States District Court for the

Western District of Texas, Austin Division. That action sought to certify the exact same class that had

already been certified by this Court, plus Georgia residents, plus class members that were subject to a

new, revised arbitration clause, and were excluded by the class in this case. The Griggs court quickly

dismissed the case in favor of the new arbitration clause. Petitioners understand that case is on appeal.

Soon after Clearman filed the competing Griggs class action, Kochanowski filed a motion to

remove Mr. Clearman as class counsel, and Prebeg joined that motion. [cite?]

The defendants’ appeal of this Court’s class certification decision continued through a Fifth

Circuit panel decision largely reversing the class certification, and then an en banc decision reversing

the panel and upholding this Court’s certification order, followed by the defendants filing a second

petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, which was also ultimately denied on October 12,

2017 (Dkt. 221).

The case then was remanded to this Court for post-class-certification litigation. Defendants

filed a series of motions for judgment on the pleadings, motions asking this Court to certify the class

certification decision for yet another interlocutory appeal and another stay of proceedings under 28

U.S.C. § 1292(b), and discovery motions, while the class amended its complaint, substituted the estate

of named plaintiff Eugene, and added a new plaintiff class representative. The parties then finally

settled at mediation in late February, 2018.

This Court issued an order on June 28, 2018, granting preliminary approval of the settlement

(Dkt. 290), including deadlines for associated items like the present application for plaintiff attorney

fees.

IV. DISCUSSION

A. Separate Attorney Fee Awards Among Class Counsel Are Appropriate in This Circuit.

Separate attorney fee applications are encouraged when different firms collaborate in

representing a plaintiff class, and District Courts are encouraged in such cases to reasonably allocate

and award plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees among the respective applicants.1

B. A Hybrid, “Percentage-With-Lodestar-and-Johnson-Factors-Checks” Approach is Allowed for Determining Attorney Fees in Class Action Cases of This Type.

The parties’ approved settlement provides for what is known as a “constructive common

fund,” in which two separate funds are provided for: one to pay the plaintiff class, subject to the

election of the 170,000-odd class members, and a second fund (here, Defendants have agreed in the

settlement not to oppose a total class counsel fee and cost award of $10.275 million) to pay for

attorneys’ fees and costs.2

In “common fund” cases like this, District Courts may in their discretion evaluate the proper

fee award by using a percentage and lodestar, cross-checked for reasonableness with what are known

as the twelve “Johnson factors.”3

The twelve Johnson factors are:

(1) the time and labor required for the litigation; (2) the novelty and complication of the issues; (3) the skill required to properly litigate the issues;

1 See, e.g., In re High Sulfur Content Gasoline Prod. Liab. Litig., 517 F.3d 220, 227 (5th Cir. 2008), citing, inter alia, Strong v. BellSouth Telecomm., Inc., 137 F.3d 844, 849 (5th Cir. 1998)(“To fully discharge its duty to review and approve class action settlemetn agreements, a district court must assess the reasonableness of the attorneys’ fees”) and the MANUAL FOR COMPLEX LITIGATION, Section 14.11 (4th ed. 2004)(“The court must distribute the [attorney fee awards] among the various plaintiffs’ attorneys, which may include class counsel, court-designated lead and liason counsel, and individual plaintiff’s counsel”). 2 See, e.g., Slipchenko v. Brunel Energy, Inc., No. CIV.A. H-11-1465, 2015 WL 338358, at *17 (S.D. Tex. Jan. 23, 2015).

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 10

(4) whether the attorney had to refuse other work to litigate the case; (5) the attorney's customary fee; (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent; (7) whether the client or case circumstances imposed any time constraints; (8) the amount involved and the results obtained; (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys; (10) whether the case was “undesirable;” (11) the type of attorney-client relationship and whether that relationship was long-standing; and (12) awards made in similar cases.

Klein v. O'Neal, Inc., 705 F. Supp. 2d at 674, citing Johnson, 488 F.2d at 717-19.

Although some cases of course have applied a pure lodestar approach, and while District

Courts also have the discretion to award attorney fees on a purely percentage basis4, the above-

described hybrid, “percentage-with-lodestar-and-Johnson-factors-reasonableness-checks” approach,

is the more common one.5

Under this hybrid approach, a District Court examines each contributing firm’s hours at a

reasonable hourly rate to provide a check – to assure itself that the agreed settlement percentage for

attorneys’ fees “does not lead to a fee that represents an extraordinary lodestar multiple” out of

keeping with the firm’s efforts, the difficulty of the case, and other circumstances unique to each case.

The lodestar multiplier is figured “by dividing the proposed fee award by the lodestar calculation,”

and “represents the risk of the litigation, the complexity of the issues, the contingent nature of the

engagement, the skill of the attorneys, and other factors.”6

4 As other of the class’s attorneys have noted, courts in this Circuit have awarded total percentage attorney fees of 25-33% of the total settlement amount, and the $10.275 million figure for class counsel fees that Defendants have agreed not to oppose would only be approximately 22.2% of the value of the total settlement to the class. This Court therefore could simply award this entire amount as the overall attorney fee award on a percentage basis. See Dkt. 291 at 11, n. 15, citing Buettgen v. Harless, No. 3:09-CV-00791-K, 2013 WL 12303143, at *10 (N.D. Tex. Nov. 13, 2013) and Erica P. John Fund, Inc. v. Halliburton Co., No. 3:02-CV-1152-M, 2018 WL 1942227, at *9 (N.D. Tex. Apr. 25, 2018), citing securities cases awarding 30% fees in this circuit); see also Dkt. 291 at 11, n. 16, referencing the affidavit of plaintiff class expert Paul Taylor as to this percentage and endorsing the valuation methodology used by class attorney Jeff Burnett in this context (Dkt. 292). 5 See, e.g., In re Enron Corp. Sec., Derivative & ERISA Litig., 586 F. Supp. 2d 732, 751–52 (S.D. Tex. 2008). 6 In re Enron, 568 F.Supp.2d at 751-52.

C. Petitioners’ Requested Award of Fees and Costs is Reasonable under Any Allowed Approach.

Petitioners’ requested fee award is objectively reasonable under any of the approaches used

in this Circuit. The total award requested is approximately 31.6% of the $10.275 million in fees the

Defendants agreed not to oppose. Petitioners’ time records demonstrate they spent a total of

4,153,2hours over many years in hard-fought litigation before this Court and on appeals to both the

Fifth Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court. See the Declaration of Matthew J.M. Prebeg, attaching time

and expense records.

Petitioners note that the time records submitted by petitioners does not include any time spent

by Mr. Clearman on the case, either before CP started, while CP was active, or after CP ended. Mr.

Clearman indicated that counsel did not need to submit time records to this court in order to receive

a fee award. Prebeg and Kochanowski independently determined that this was an unwise suggestion,

and therefore are submitting time records. Mr. Clearman indicated he would not create time records,

therefore petitioners are unable to state the amount of time Mr. Clearman spent on the case while at

CP, or the amount of time before CP was created, which was committed to CP.

However, petitioners assume and reasonably estimate that Mr. Clearman spent at least 400-

500 hours of productive time on this case before CP and, mainly, during CP’s existence. If the CP

partnership agreement were honored, pursuant to that agreement, Mr. Clearman would be entitled to

25% of the fees earned for work at CP (minus expenses) and 25% of CP expenses recovered in this

case. Likewise, PFA’s partners (Prebeg, Faucett, and Abbott) would be entitled to 75% of fees from

the work Mr. Clearman performed before and while at CP on this case, as well as 75% of CP’s

expenses. However, Mr. Clearman has apparently repudiated that agreement and petitioners are not

aware of his hours.

Petitioner’s regular hourly rates charged over the course of this case from 2010 through 2018

are in line with those charged by the Houston-area legal community for complex litigation of this

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 16 of 28

type. Prebeg Decl.7 Thus, these fees, regardless of whether one applies petitioner’s typical historical

or current rates, are reasonable. The following shows these hours charged at typical historical

(scenario 1) versus current (scenario 2) rates for both the CP firm and the PFA firm:

May 16, 2018) (noting that “courts consider the attorney’s regular rates as well as the prevailing market rate,” which it defines as “the rate ‘prevailing in the community for similar services by lawyers of reasonably comparable skill, experience and reputation.’,” and holding that “[r]ates ranging from $360 to $800 per hour are reasonable in comparision to the prevailing market rates in Houston, Texas, for comparable law firms and attorneys”) citing Blum v. Stenson, 465 U.S. 886 (1984)(underlining added); accord Rouse v. Target Corp., 181 F.Supp.2d 379, 385 (S.D. Tex. 2016)(noting that, even two years ago, “firms in Texas charge hourly rates averaging from approximately $655 for partners and $417 for associates”)(underlining added).

Also, with respect to proof of what constitutes a reasonable hourly rate in the community, see also, e.g.: Johnson v. Bodi Services, LLC, 2018 WL 3621056 (S.D. Tex. May 8, 2018)(holding that “[g]enerally, the reasonable hourly rate for a particular community is established through the requesting attornye’s affidavit and the affidavits of other attorneys practicing in the same locale…” but adding that “the attorney’s own declaration may be enough if supported by evidence sufficient to determine the prevailing market rate”); see also Klein v. O’Neal, Inc., 705 F.Supp.2d 632, 680 (N.D. Tex. 2010), as modified (June 14, 2010)(noting that District Courts themselves are “experts” on attorneys fees and may rely on their own judgment and experience in the community to determine reasonable rates in the community: “a court itself is an expert in attorneys’ fees and ‘may consider its own knowledge and experience concerning reasonable and proper fees and may form an independent judgment with or without the aid of witnesses as to value.’[citations omitted]”); see also Powell v. C.I.R., 891 F.2d 1167, 1173 (5th Cir.1990); Altier v. Worley Catastrophe Resp., LLC, Civil Action Nos. 11-241, 11-242, 2012 WL 161824, at *22 (E.D. La., Jan 18, 2012), citing La. Power & Light Co. v. Kellstrom, 50 F.3d 319, 328 (5th Cir.1995); In re High Sulfur Content Gasoline Prod. Liab. Litig., 517 F.3d 220, 228 (5th Cir. 2008).

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 13

Petitioners’ rates, under either their typical historical or even their current rates, are reasonable

and in line with the $360-to-$800 range (inclusive of associates and partners) this Court has recently

acknowledged as common in this community for complex class action litigation of this type.

These rates are also objectively reasonable and in keeping with rates approved in this District

under a blended, cross-check method. Courts in this Circuit often approve blended rates in this range.8

Petitioners’ requested fees thus are objectively reasonable and in line with other approved rates and

fee awards in this District whether a typical historical rate (here, $250 to $600/hour) or current rate

($350 to $600/hour) is used.

Petitioners’ hours presented here, moreover, were all reasonably incurred and were neither

“unproductive, excessive, or redundant” under the circumstances.9 The hours presented have been

thoroughly reviewed and time written off concluded to be unproductive or unnecessary. Prebeg Decl.

D. Petitioners’ Request a 1.9 Multiplier, Consistent with Those Often Awarded in this District for Similar Successful Results.

Petitioners also request a multiplier to compensate the firm for extraordinary efforts and

success on behalf of the class. As already noted by other counsel for the class, the mean multiplier

applied in the Fifth Circuit is 2.07, and other recent cases have used a multiplier of 1.97.10 Applying

a 1.9 multiplier to the petitioners’ hours at petitioners’ current rates (scenario 2, above) would mean

a resulting fee award of $3,164,170, as applied to the average between using petitioners’ historical

rates (scenario 1, above) and current rates (scenario 2, above).

8 See, e.g., In re Vioxx Products Liab. Litig., 760 F.Supp.2d 640, 569 (E.D. La. 2010)(“the lodestar cross-check can be simplieifed by use of a blended hourly rate”); see also, e.g., Klein, 705 F.Supp.2d 632 ($500/hour blended rate); In re Enron Corp., 586 F.Supp.2d at 779 ($456/hour blended rate). 9See, e.g., Saizan v. Delta Concrete Prod. Co., 448 F.3d 795, 799 (5th Cir. 2006). 10 See Dkt. 291 at 15, citing Theodore Eisenberg & Geoffrey Miller, Attorney Fees and Expenses in Class Action Settlements: 1993–2008, 7 J. EMPIRICAL LEGAL STUDIES 248 (2010); see also, e.g., Billitteri v. Sec. Am., Inc., No. 3:09-CV-01568-F, 2011 WL 3585983, at *9 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 4, 2011) (1.97 multiplier); Turner v. Murphy Oil, USA, Inc., 472 F. Supp 2d 830, 869 (E.D. La. 2007) (2.5 to 3.5 multiplier); Klein v. O’Neal, 7 0 5 F . S u p p . 2 d 6 3 2 (2.5 multiplier, and citing other class actions applying multipliers of up to 4.5).

E. Petitioners’ Requested Fees and Multiplier Also Satisfy the Johnson Factors. Petitioners’ requested fee award and multiplier are also reasonable if viewed through a

“Johnson Factors” lens, especially since many of the factors overlap with items considered in a

lodestar calculation (e.g., novelty and complexity of issues, special skills and experience of the

plaintiffs’ attorneys, the quality of the representation, results obtained by those attorneys, limitations

imposed by the client and other circumstances; foregoing of other employment).11

1. First Johnson Factor: Time and Labor Involved.

Petitioners invested over 4,000 hours of attorney time, excluding the time spent my Mr.

Clearman while at CP, in bringing this case to settlement. This does not include the CP time spent

by Mr. Clearman and excludes all of the substantial amount of time and effort invested by secretaries,

paralegals and law clerks that was necessarily required to accomplish this result. Petitioners also

invested $187,557.38in expenses related to the case.

The substantial effort petitioners’ devoted to this case was necessary to navigate through the

exhaustive motion practice, discovery, and appeals in this hard-fought litigation. The defendants

aggressively defended every aspect of this case, and this case could not have been settled if petitioners

had not made the decision to devote their resources to this case, at the expense of taking on other

opportunities.

2. Second Johnson Factor: Novelty and Difficulty of the Issues.

As other class attorneys have noted in their fee applications, before this case, there had been

no successfully certified RICO class action against an alleged multi-level marketing pyramid scheme

since the 1990s. The plaintiff class also had to overcome unfavorable Fifth Circuit precedent like

Sandwich Chef of Tex., Inc. v. Reliance Nat'l Indem. Ins. Co.,319 F.3d 205 (5th Cir. 2003) that had

11 In re Enron, 586 F.Supp.2d at 756-57.

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 19 of 28

Page 20: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 15

introduced reliance issues on which the initially unfavorable 5th Cir. panel heavily relied before the

class’s ultimately successful en banc rehearing.

This case also required nine years of litigation before this Court and involving two separate

appeals to the Fifth Circuit, a rare, successful en banc rehearing in plaintiffs’ favor, and not one but

two separate U.S. Supreme Court petitions for certiorari. All of these things clearly establish the

“novelty and difficulty” of the issues here.12

Although the Bridge v. Phoenix Bond case13 provided the authority to plead a RICO action

without specifically stating a plausible reliance element that could be proven on a class-wide basis, it

provided no commonly understandable roadmap for pleading and proving, on a class-wide basis, the

element of causation. That was an open question, which required significant research of subsequent

interpretations of Bridge and its progeny by various courts in order to satisfy the causation element.

Arguably, this case was successful because of petitioners’ work to develop proof of causation and

harmonize that proof with the various circuit opinions’ interpretations of how this element could be

satisfied on a class-wide basis.

Nor did the Bridge case provide guidance on how to avoid dismissal of a RICO action as a

result of preclusion under the PSLRA. Petitioners carefully researched this issue, modified the

complaint accordingly, and then defeated a motion for dismissal on grounds of RICO preclusion. For

these reasons, and for those stated in the fee petitions previously filed (Dkts. 291, 292, and 295), this

fee petition should be granted.

3. Third Johnson Factor: The Skill Required to Perform Legal Services.

12 See Erica P. John Fund, Inc., supra, 2018 WL 1942227, at *10 (multiple Supreme Court appeals and reversal of precedent “demonstrate the novelty and difficulty of the legal issues in this case.”). 13 Bridge v. Phoenix Bond & Indem. Co., 553 U.S. 639, 128 S. Ct. 2131, 170 L. Ed. 2d 1012 (2008).

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 16

Petitioners are experienced commercial litigators with long, successful track records in state

and federal courts all around the country. Prebeg, in particular, has litigated and tried many cases,

from commercial and consumer lawsuits, complicated patent, trade secrets, and other intellectual

property lawsuits, to highly complex product liability cases and other complex commercial cases. See

Prebeg Decl.

Petitioners reviewed and uncovered many of the key documents that then served to support

depositions of key defendant witnesses and experts and to support the class’s successful certification

and summary judgment briefing and appeals. Petitioners primarily wrote a significant number of the

successful motions and responses in this case, including but not limited to Dkt. 104, defeating a

motion for sanctions concerning defense expert Carmona, Dkt. 139, response to a motion to strike

evidence, Dkt. 148, a successful motion to strike the defendants’ expert Carmona, Dkt. 167 a motion

to strike the defendants’ revised arbitration affirmative defense14, Dkt. 176, motion to approve class

notice, Dkt. 177, motion for trial setting, Dkt. 237, response to motion to dismiss on the pleadings

(PSLRA preemption and multiple other grounds), and Dkt. 250, response to motion to certify for

immediate appeal.

Prebeg also took and presented witnesses for depositions in this matter, including the

depositions of Logan Stout, Brian Lucia, defense expert Joseph Mariano, and class representatives

Christopher Robison and Lucas Thomas. Petitioners helped prepare other counsel so they could take

effective depositions. Petitioners also were key collaborators and contributors with other class

attorneys in other keystone motions for the plaintiffs, such as the motion for class certification, motion

for summary judgment, and multiple appeals after the class was certified.

4. Fourth Johnson Factor: Preclusion of Other Employment.

14 If this defense were not stricken, it could have significantly affected the size of the class, the value of the case, and the potential for settlement.

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 21 of 28

Page 22: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 17

CP was, and PFA is, a small firm that ranged between four and seven attorneys throughout

the pendency of this case. Petitioners had to choose between taking on additional work that would

require significant attorney attention and expense funding, or devoting their hours and their available

funds for expenses to pursue this class action.

This case demanded a large percentage of Prebeg’s time during critical periods in this case,

including the time leading up to and immediately after the class certification hearing, during

preparation of briefing for multiple appeals of the class certification order, and in defeating the various

defense motions filed shortly after the case was remanded after the successful en banc appeal. The

case demanded the near-full-time attention of Caldwell particularly in the crucial 2012-2014 pre-

appeal period given Clearman’s decline and eventual total absence (during the period when most of

the heavy litigation took place, including depositions, written discovery review, expert reports,

motions to sanction Clearman, motions to compel and to strike, briefing on summary judgment and

for class certification and hearings on the same), as well as significant involvement at various points

of Faucett and Abbott. This factor, too, therefore justifies the petitioners’ requested fees and

multiplier.15

5. Fifth Johnson Factor: A Customary Fee for Similar Work in the Community.

Petitioners refer the Court to sections I.a. and I.b. above, addressing this factor and

establishing that petitioners’ requested fees are reasonable and perfectly in line with those charged by

other attorneys in this district, and in this case, for similar, complex work. These reasons, and those

stated in the fee petitions previously filed (Dkts. 291, 292, and 295), favor this petition for fees.

6. Sixth Johnson Factor: Whether the Fee is Fixed or Contingent.

15 Slipchenko, supra, 2015 WL 338358, at *19 (finding this factor weighing in favor of requested fees where four out of seven lawyers in a practice group within a larger firm -spent more than 50 hours on the case). This reasoning would apply even more strongly in the case of a small firm with even more limited infrastructure and resources like PFA.

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 22 of 28

Page 23: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 18

This factor, and the fact that petitioners took this challenging case on a contingent fee, is

“particularly relevant considering the difficulty presented by the facts and legal questions in this case

and the very real risk of obtaining no recovery at all.”16 Petitioners have “incurred significant

expenses and provided thousands of hours of diligent legal work on this case with the very real

possibility of no recovery or a very limited recovery.”17 They committed these resources to the class

well before they knew if the case would be certified and before they knew they would defeat a PSLRA

preemption argument. Petitioners committed enormous resources to this case after receiving an

opinion from the 5th Circuit that reversed the class action certification, in order to pursue a statistically

small chance that the 5th Circuit would later grant a rare en banc review, which would ultimately

result in success for the class.

Possibly even as significant, petitioners devoted a large portion of their limited resources to

pursue this case when, even if a favorable judgment were received at trial, the judgment might not be

collectible. Petitioners were not aware of any insurance available to defendants to satisfy all or even

a portion of any judgment, and if a favorable judgment had been rendered, several more years of

appeals were anticipated. Petitioners could not predict whether defendants would have the resources

(or, for some, would even exist) to pay a judgment after the appeals process.

7. Seventh Johnson Factor: Time Limitations Imposed by the Client or the Circumstances.

As mentioned in section 4 above, CP was, and PFA is, a small firm that ranged between four

and seven attorneys throughout the pendency of this case. Its attorneys were required to review

hundreds of thousands of pages of emails, documents, and other data obtained via subpoena from the

16 Billitteri v. Sec. Am., Inc., 3:09-CV-01568-F, 2011 WL 3585983, at *7 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 4, 2011). 17 Id. (and therefore awarding a pure percentage attorney fee in that case of 25% of the total settlement value).

defendants’ massive, independently-housed, electronic database, engage in years of demanding

motion practice, research, depositions, and hearings.

The attorney effort and expense funding requirements of this case could not be easily deferred

to a time when it was convenient for petitioners to attend to them. When motions or responses were

required, or when the interlocutory appeal of the class certification order was granted, petitioners had

to make the choice to set aside work on other cases, or refuse other work, and prioritize the

development of this case. This factor supports the reasonableness of petitioners’ requested fees.

8. Eighth Johnson Factor: Amount Involved and Results Obtained.

The U.S. Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit have noted this is the “most critical factor in

determining the reasonableness of a fee award.”18 This settlement provides over 170,000 class

members an opportunity to receive significantly increased compensation for their efforts as

distributors, and provides them with free support services from defendants. As explained by Paul

Taylor in his report, attached as Exhibit C to the application of the Sommers PC firm, Dkt. 291, these

benefits, for those class member who choose them, have a value of up to $54,000,000 in support fees

and an additional $38,500,000 in commissions. For those who choose a cash payout, this settlement

requires defendants to pay class members 20% of their cash losses. For these reasons, and for those

stated in the fee petitions previously filed (Dkts. 291, 292, and 295), this factor favors petitioners’

requested fees.

9. Ninth Johnson Factor: Experience, Reputation, and Ability of the Attorneys.

18 In re Heartland Payment Sys., Inc. Cust. Data Sec. Breach Litig., 851 F.Supp.2d 1040, 1085 (S.D. Tex. 2012), citing In re Enron (“Enron II”), 586 F.Supp.2d 732, 796 (S.D. Tex. 2008); see also, e.g., Farrar v. Hobby, 506 U.S. 103, 114, 113 S.Ct. 566 (1995); Migis v. Pearle Vision, Inc., 135 F.3d 1041, 1047 (5th Cir.1998)); Slipchenko, supra, 2015 WL 338358, at *19; Billitteri v. Sec. Am., Inc., supra, 2011 WL 3585983, at *8.

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 20

As stated above, petitioners are highly experienced litigators. Prebeg, Faucett, and Abbott

have appeared in courts throughout the country in complex litigation, including intellectual property

and other commercial disputes. Their historical client base ranges through many foreign countries.

Prebeg maintains an AV Preeminent rating by Martindale Hubbell, signifying the highest possible

rating in both legal ability & ethical standards. Petitioners’ ability, experience, and reputation justify

their requested fees.

10. Tenth Johnson Factor: The “Undesireability of the Case.”

This factor is often linked to the novelty and difficulty factors.19 Accordingly, the “‘risk of

non-recovery’ and ‘undertaking expensive litigation against…well-financed corporate defendants on

a contingent fee’” may make a case constructively “undesirable” in this context, thereby justifying a

higher fee for the attorneys taking on the risks of the representation, as the petitioners did here.20

This case involved litigation taken on a contingent fee that lasted almost 10 years and involved

multiple appeals, a rare Fifth Circuit en banc reversal of a panel in the plaintiffs’ favor and two, U.S.

Supreme Court certiorari petition attempts. For these reasons, and for those stated in the fee petitions

previously filed (Dkts. 291, 292, and 295), this petition for fees is warranted.

11. Eleventh Johnson Factor: The Nature and Length of the Professional Relationship with the Client.

By the time CP was formed in late 2010, Mr. Clearman and Mr. Burnett had already

established a relationship with putative class representatives Mr. Juan Ramon Torres and Mr. Eugene

Robison. This case has been active since early 2011 after the 5th Circuit overturned its early

dismissal. Mr. Torres did not become a class member, and he was not elevated to class representative.

This petition seeks no fees in connection with funds that may be paid to Mr. Torres. Petitioners

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 21

maintained a professional relationship with Eugene Robison until he became gravely ill and then died

in 2015. Petitioners thereafter established a professional relationship with class member Lucas

Thomas, and eventually were able to achieve promotion of Mr. Thomas, and Christopher Robison,

Eugene’s son, as class representatives. Petitioners were required to gather and produce extensive

discovery responses for both Mr. Thomas and Mr. Robison, prepare for and present them at

depositions, and consult with them for purposes related to this case.

12. Twelfth and Final Johnson Factor: Awards in Similar Cases.

As other class attorneys have noted, this factor, too, weighs in favor of petitioners’ requested,

enhanced award. A recent, similar Herbalife settlement, also involving a multilevel marketing scheme

resulted in an attorney fee of approximately $4.9 million with much less in the way of actual payments

or any real benefits to the much larger class (there, however, an FTC action apart from the civil class

action resulted in the $200 million consumer fine). A settlement involving multilevel marketing

company Amway also resulted in attorney’s fees of $15 million with a 2.29 lodestar multiplier on

a settlement of, at most, $55 million.

These cases indicate the fee award and multiplier requested here are reasonable and in line

with those in similar cases. For these reasons, and for those stated in the fee petitions previously filed

(Dkts. 291, 292, and 295), this factor supports this fee petition.

F. Pets’ Requested Incurred Costs and Expenses Are Also Reasonable. District Courts also routinely award “expenses and administrative costs” in a class action

settlement of this kind that include “expert fees, transportation, meals and lodging, in-house and

outsourced photocopying, research, court reporting fees and deposition transcripts, overnight courier

services, postage, and other services.”21

21 Billitteri, 2011 WL 3585983, at *10.

PREBEG, FAUCETT & ABBOTT, PLLC MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES – Page 22

Petitioners necessarily incurred $187,557.38 in costs and expenses in this matter. Prebeg Decl.

These costs included the costs for deposition recording and transcripts, document preparation,

database storing, and reproduction, exhibit preparation, expert costs, as well transportation costs to

Dallas for various depositions (where Stream/Ignite is located) and to New Orleans for two separate

Fifth Circuit oral argument hearings.

G. Incentive Awards Requested for the Named Class Representative Plaintiffs Are Reasonable and Appropriate.

Representative parties may be awarded “reasonable costs and expenses (including lost

wages)” relating to the representation of the class.22 As noted in the attorney fee petitions filed

by class attorneys Kochanowski and Burnett (Dkt. 291-92), the defendants here, as part of the

parties’ settlement, have agreed to pay and not oppose incentive awards to named plaintiff

representatives of $15,000 for the Eugene Robison Estate and $5,000 for plaintiffs Luke

Thomas. Juan Ramon Torres was not a class representative, defendants have also agreed to pay

him a fee of $5,000 for his efforts (see Dkt. 289-1 and 291-2). Petitioners seek no portion of

any of these incentive awards. These sums are reasonable and unopposed and should be

awarded for the reasons already discussed in other class attorneys’ motions on this point.

IV. CONCLUSION For the reasons discussed here, petitioners therefore request an award of their incurred fees in

the amount of $3,164,170, and for their costs and expenses in the amount of $187,557.38, for a total

requested award of $3,351,727. Petitioners also reserve the right to revisit their requested fees if later

circumstances require additional representation of the class arising out of this case and/or its appeals

and/or settlement, and to revise this attorney fee request as other fee applications are filed by the

class’s other counsel.

DECLARATION OF MATTHEW J.M. PREBEG

I, Matthew J.M. Prebeg, declare:

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Texas and have been

admitted to practice before this Court. I am a partner with the law firm of Prebeg, Faucett &

Abbott PLLC and was a partner in the firm formerly known as Clearman|Prebeg LLP and now

known as CP Windup LLP.

2. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana-

Champaign, Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from Texas A&M University, A Ph.D. in Engineering from Texas A&M University, and a J.D. from the University of Texas, Austin.

3. Before practicing as a lawyer, I owned and operated several businesses that

provided services in the engineering, design, testing, and manufacturing fields, and sold construction products.

4. I have practiced law since 1994 and have been a partner in several law firms. I

am rated AV Preeminent rating by Martindale Hubbell, the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards, and have been previously certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

5. I am admitted to practice in United States District Courts for the Federal Circuit,

the Southern, Western, Eastern, and Northern Districts of Texas, the Eastern District of

Michigan, and the District of Colorado. I have practiced before these courts, as well as the Texas Supreme Court and various courts of appeals and trial courts throughout Texas.I have been admitted on a pro hac vice basis in federal and state courts throughout the United States, including:

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297-1 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 1 of 4

Page 30: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, and Wisconsin.

6. I have represented, as lead counsel, corporations and individuals from Texas,

various other states, and several other countries, in matters filed throughout the United States. I have represented Brunswick Corporation, Mercury Marine, Cooper Tire & Rubber, Crestliner, ProLine, Genrnar Corporation, Design Pallets, Inc., Amica Insurance, State Farm Insurance, Wellcraft, Sperry-Sun, Dresser Industries, Sea Ray, Wacoh Company, UBE Industries, Advanced Electrolyte Technologies Inc., Milestone Co., Ltd., Takion Co., Ltd., Cellport Systems, Inc., ITP, Inc., Geophysical Service Incorporated, Edison Electric, Amperex Technologies, Ltd., and others in complex commercial, consumer, product or intellectual property disputes.

7. I have litigated and successfully tried cases to verdicts in various state and federal

courts, securing several multi-million dollar plaintiff verdicts or settlements. My trial court experience includes commercial litigation, breach of fiduciary duty, patent infringement and other intellectual property disputes, shareholder derivative action, state and federal RICO action, class action, product liability, and consumer disputes.

8. Prior to my involvement in this case, I represented Brunswick Corporation,

Mercury Marine Division, in their defense of the purported class action Edward Barnot, on Behalf of Himself and all Others Similarly Situated v. Mercury Marine, a Division of the Brunswick Corporation, Cause No. 20427, in the District Court of Chambers, County, Texas and later Cause No. 2003-38625 in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. Prior to my involvement in this case I did not have involvement with other class action lawsuits. While involved in this case, I represented plaintiffs in a RICO class action filed in the 11th Circuit, and I currently represent plaintiffs in a RICO class action involving a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Michigan.

9. Petitioners invested an enormous amount of time and resources to bring this case

to a successful resolution. Petitioners reviewed and uncovered many of the key documents that then served to support depositions of key defendant witnesses and experts and to support the class’s successful certification and summary judgment briefing and appeals. Petitioners primarily wrote a significant number of the successful motions and responses in this case, including but not limited to Dkt. 104, defeating a motion for sanctions concerning defense expert Carmona, Dkt. 139, response to a motion to strike evidence, Dkt. 148, a successful motion to strike the defendants’ expert Carmona, Dkt. 167 a motion to strike the defendants’ revised arbitration affirmative defense, Dkt. 176, motion to approve class notice, Dkt. 177, motion for trial setting, Dkt. 237, response to motion to dismiss on the pleadings (PSLRA preemption and multiple other grounds), and Dkt. 250, response to motion to certify for immediate appeal. Prebeg took and presented witnesses for depositions in this matter, including the depositions of Logan Stout, Brian Lucia, defense expert Joseph Mariano, and class representatives Christopher Robison and Lucas Thomas. Petitioners helped prepare other counsel so they could take effective depositions. Petitioners also were key collaborators and contributors with other class attorneys in other keystone motions for the plaintiffs, such as the motion for class certification, motion for summary

Page 31: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

judgment, and multiple appeals after the class was certified.

10. I have been informed that Eugene Robison, formerly the class representative

appointed by this Court, by March of 2014 was diagnosed with lung cancer, and that between April and approximately November of 2014, received aggressive treatment for lung cancer, including proton therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, he thereafter stopped these treatments, and that Eugene Robison died on June 11, 2015.

11. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-1, a copy of the partnership of the firm

formerly known as Clearman|Prebeg LLP, and now known as CP Windup LLP. Shortly after CP was started, my strong understanding is that the partners agreed that cases they brought to the firm and that still required substantial work would be committed to the firm, with any eventual fees being divided among the partners equally. This did not include two cases previously developed by Mr. Clearman. Neither of those two cases was this case. Prebeg, Faucett, and Abbott paid fees from their cases to CP accordingly, and Mr. Clearman accepted those fees.

12. The litigation that ensued between Mr. Clearman and his other partners at CP

resulted in a settlement agreement. That agreement did not include resolution of fees from this case.

13. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-2, a copy of the joint fee agreement

between Clearman|Prebeg LLP, Jeffrey W. Burnett PLLC, and the Sommers Schwartz firm. This agreement was signed by Mr. Clearman for the Clearman|Prebeg firm.

14. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-3, a copy of the proposal for a second

restated fee agreement to include the Goldstein & Russell P.C. firm. This agreement was signed by class counsel Prebeg and Kochanowski, and by Burnett. It was not signed by Mr. Clearman. The handwritten notations on this proposal were sent to me by Mr. Clearman.

15. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-4, a copy the agreement to hire the

Goldstein & Russel, P.C. firm as appellate counsel in this matter. 16. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-5, a copy of the representation agreement

with Luke Thomas. 17. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-6, a copy of the expenses recorded by the

firm formerly named Clearman|Prebeg LLP for expenses required in this case. 18. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-7, a copy of the expenses recorded the

Prebeg, Faucett & Abbott PLLC firm for expenses required in this case. 19. Attached to this declaration is Exhibit A-8, a copy of a report of work and time

performed by petitioners and an associate on this case. The time entries were made from

Case 4:09-cv-02056 Document 297-1 Filed in TXSD on 09/13/18 Page 3 of 4

Page 32: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

concurrent records of events and tasks. Time amounts were recorded as conservative estimates of the time actually spent on the task as reported by the timekeeper to the nearest tenth or quarter of an hour, depending on the timekeeper’s custom. Where concurrent records of events and tasks were not available, no event or time was recorded. This has resulted in a conservative reporting of time. Where time was deemed by me to be unnecessary or unproductive, it was written off by the notation of “0” in the column labelled “adjust.” Under the “Tmkpr” column, “BTC” means Brent Caldwell, “CMF” means Christopher Faucett, and “MJP” means Matthew Prebeg.

20. The typical published rates for attorneys at the firm formerly known as

Clearman|Prebeg LLP, now known as CP Windup LLP, ranged from $250 per hour for Mr. Caldwell to $500 per hour for Prebeg, Faucett, and Abbott. The rate reported in the time records was the best known rate at the time the task was done. The current published rate for Mr. Caldwell is $350 per hour and the current published rate for Prebeg, Faucett, and Abbott is $600 per hour.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on September 12, 2018, in Houston, Texas.

In the event that any Partner requests in writing the approval of the other Partners to or for any proposed action within the scope of this Partnership and the party to whom such request is made fails to give notice to the said Partner of disapproval within ten (10) days after receipt of such request, then, in such event such failure to respond shall be deemed to be approval of the matter for which approval was requested.

ARTICLE VII. CESSATION OF THE PRACTICE OF LAW

Section 7.1 Cessation of the Practice of Law.

A. In such event, the remaining Partners individually shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase the entire interest in the Partnership then held by such Terminated Partner, his or her spouse and all transferees, if any, at a purchase price equal to the value of such interest as determined under Section 7.2. In order to exercise such option, the other Partners ("Purchasing Partners") shall give written notice to the Terminated Partner or to the Executor or Administrator of the Estate of the Terminated Partner, as the case might be, and the other Partners no later than thirty (30) days after the date of termination of such Terminated Partner. The notice of exercise of the option shall specify a time, not more than sixty (60) days after the date thereof, and a place in Houston, Texas, at which time and place, the closing shall occur. In the event more than one Partner exercises his or her individual right to purchase, then such Partners may concurrently or consecutively purchase such interest in proportion to their interest in the Partnership. If no election is made, the Partnership shall be dissolved and wound up.

Page 39: FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION · civil action no. 4:09-cv-2056 jury demanded plaintiffs’ application for attorneys’ fees and expenses for class attorney-in-charge

B. If the Purchasing Partners give the notice pursuant to the preceding subparagraph, at the closing, the Terminated Partner or the Executor or Administrator of the Terminated Partner's Estate and his or her heirs, legatees, devisees and transferees shall execute such assignment and other necessary instruments of conveyance, and the Partnership or Purchasing Partner(s), as the case may be, shall pay purchase price for said interest as provided in this Agreement. In the event life insurance funds any portion of the purchase price, the insurance proceeds from any such "buy-out" life insurance for the interest purchased shall constitute all or a part of the purchase price of said interest. If the purchase price to be paid hereunder is greater than the life insurance proceeds, then such excess shall be paid in 36 equal monthly installments of principal only (no interest) beginning the thirty (30) days after such initial payment until paid in full. If the terminated Partner is terminated or terminates because of any other reason, and the Partnership is not dissolved, then percent (10%) of the purchase price shall be paid in cash at closing and the remainder shall be paid in 36 equal monthly installments of principal beginning thirty (30) days after such payment until paid in full. Such obligation shall be evidenced in a promissory note executed by the Partnership, as the case may be, and delivered to said transferee. At the election of the Purchasing Partners, any portion of the purchase price for the interest of the Terminating Partner may be accomplished by the Partnership's non-recourse assignment to the Transferring Partner of accounts receivable of the Partnership (provided that the value of such accounts receivable have been agreed in good faith by the Transferring Partner and the Purchasing Partners). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other method of payment may be made if agreed upon by the Partnership, Purchasing Partners and the Terminated Partner or it's estate.

Section 7.2 Purchase Price. If a Partner's interest is purchased because of one of the triggering events specified in Section 7. 1 above, the purchase price of such Partner's interest in the Partnership shall be equal to such Partner's capital account, as of the date of the triggering event (date of termination), and the net current realizable value of the Partnership's accounts receivable (including contingent fee cases), as determined in good faith between the Purchasing Partners and the Terminated Partners, less the debts and liabilities of the Partnership (all parties agree to use mediation to in good faith to make these determinations). In the event the Partnership purchases life insurance on the Partners to fund such purchase price, the amount of the said life insurance payable to the estate of the deceased Partner, or to such deceased Partner's beneficiary named by the deceased Partner in said insurance policy, shall be the Purchase Price if it exceeds the amount determined in the first sentence of this Section.

ARTICLE VIII. NEW PARTNERS

The Partners hereby agree that no new partner shall be admitted to the Partnership unless all the Partners unanimously agree on the terms and conditions.

RESTATED FEE AGREEMENT

Initially, in this matter, Clearman!Prebeg, LLP (successor to The Clearman Law

Firm PLLC, hereafter "CIP") and Jeffrey W. Burnett PLLC (hereafbtr "Burnett") agreed

that CIP would bear the full responsibility for third party case expenses and receive 75o/o

of any recovery and Jeffrey W. Burnett PLLC would receive the remai)'ling 25% of any

recovery (recovery always being net of expenses).

To allow for the participation of Sommers Schwartz (herein after "Sommers") as

co counsel and to provide that firm 20% of any recovery in this matter, CIP ;;~grees to

reduce its fee Interest to 60% and Burnett agrees to reduce Its fee interest to 20%.

Sommers aggl$ to accept 20% of any recovery for its participation in this case.

CIP has thus far adVanced approximately $100,000 in case expenses in pursuing

$70,000. If future case expenses exceed $70,000, then CIP and Sommers will
