CLASS ACTION

DECLARATION OF VAN BUNCH FILED ON BEHALF OF BONNETT, FAIRBOURN, FRIEDMAN & BALINT, P.C. IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS' APPLICATIONFOR AW ARD OF ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES/CHARGES AND SERVICE AWARDS

Case 2:08-cv-00235-CCC-JAD Document 106-5 Filed 08/14/19 Page 1 of 21 PageID: 2391

I, Van Bunch, declare as follows:

1. I am a shareholder of the firm of Bonnett, Fairbourn, Friedman &

Balint, P.C. ("BFFB"). I am submitting this declaration in support of Plaintiffs'

application for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses/charges ("expenses") and

service awards in connection with services rendered in the above-entitled action.

2. This firm is counsel of record for Plaintiffs.

3. The information in this declaration regarding BFFB 's time and

expenses is taken from time and expense printouts and supporting documentation

prepared and/or maintained by the firm in the ordinary course of business. I am the

shareholder who oversaw and/or conducted the day-to-day activities in the litigation

and I reviewed these printouts ( and backup documentation where necessary or

appropriate) in connection with the preparation of this declaration. The purpose of

this review was to confirm both the accuracy of the entries on the printouts as well

as the necessity for, and reasonableness of, the time and expenses committed to the

litigation. As a result of this review, reductions were made to both time and expenses

in the exercise of billing judgment. BFFB has reduced or removed hours spent

wherever that time seemed administrative, duplicative or too lengthy, resulting in

reductions to time billed totaling approximately six percent. As a result of this

review and the adjustments made, I believe that the time reflected in the firm's

Page 3: ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN &DOWDLLP ZWERLING, SCHACHTER …s/ECF 106... · (c) Photocopies and Printing: $815.26. In connection with this case, the firm made 542 in-house copies and printed

lodestar calculation and the expenses for which payment is sought as set forth in this

declaration are reasonable in amount and were necessary for the effective and

efficient prosecution and resolution of the litigation. In addition, I believe that the

expenses are all of a type that would normally be charged to a fee-paying client in

the private legal marketplace.

4. After the reductions referred to above, the number of hours spent on

this litigation from inception through May 31, 2019 by my firm is 2,980.7. A

breakdown of the lodestar is provided in Exhibit A. The lodestar amount for attorney

/ paralegal time based on the firm's current rates is $1,238,420.50. The hourly rates

shown in Exhibit A are the usual and customary rates set by the firm for each

individual.

5. From inception through May 31, 2019 my firm's total expenses in

connection with the prosecution of the litigation are $214,585.87. These expenses

are summarized by category in Exhibit B. Examples of such expenses are:

(a) Transportation, Hotels & Meals: $36,824.38. In connection with

the prosecution of this case, the firm has paid for travel expenses to take depositions,

attend an oral argument, meet with plaintiffs' counsel and experts, and attend a

mediation. The date, destination and purpose of each trip is set forth in Exhibit C.

(b) Filing Fees: $3,314.00. During the course of this litigation,

BFFB has paid pro hac vice fees for its attorneys and the subsequent annual renewal

fees. The date, vendor and purpose for each expense is set forth in Exhibit D.

(c) Photocopies and Printing: $815.26. In connection with this case,

the firm made 542 in-house copies and printed 1,880 pages, for a total of 2,422

pages, charging $0.20 per page for a total of $484.40. Each time an in-house copy

machine or printer is used, our billing system requires that a case or administrative

billing code be entered and that is how the 2,422 copies were identified as related to

this case. My firm also paid $330.86 to outside copy/print vendors.

(d) Online Legal and Financial Research: $1,645.24. This category

includes vendors such as Pacer and Westlaw. These resources were used to obtain

access to court databases, legal research and for cite-checking of briefs. This

expense represents the expense incurred by BFFB for use of these services in

connection with this litigation. The charges for these vendors vary depending upon

the type of services requested.

6. The expenses pertaining to this case are reflected in the books and

records of this firm. These books and records are prepared from receipts, expense

vouchers, check records and other documents and are an accurate record of the

expenses.

VAN BUNCH is a firm shareholder. Mr. Bunch's practice focuses on class action and mass tort litigation. He has represented clients in class litigation involving breach of contract, federal and state securities laws, federal and state RICO actions, deceptive insurance sales practices, environmental pollution and other consumer protection claims.

Recently, Mr. Bunch participated in the successful resolution of Good, et al. v. West Virginia American Water Company in the United States District

Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. The case arose of a spill of hazardous chemicals into the local water supply of Charleston, W. V ., shutting down access to drinking water for some 225,000 residents and thousands of businesses. Mr. Bunch served as lead counsel in the case and worked all phases of the litigation up to the eve of trial, when the parties struck a settlement. Before that, Mr. Bunch steered In re Mingo County Coal Slurry litigation to a successful conclusion, a case in which over seven hundred West Virginians received compensation for physical injuries, including wrongful death claims and the establishment of a medical monitoring program to help promote earlier diagnosis and treatment from the health effects of alleged exposure to coal slurry in their water supplies.

Mr. Bunch served as trial counsel in Smith v. American Family, a case involving the use of imitation crash parts in repair estimates for consumers in the state of Missouri, which resulted in a unanimous jury verdict of approximately $30 million in March, 2007. The case paid tens of thousands of Missourians full compensation, with interest, for their losses.

Mr. Bunch also served as trial counsel in Lebrilla v. Farmers Insurance Group in Santa Ana Superior Court, which settled following a complete bench trial in 2006 resulting in readjustment of auto property damage claims for Farmers' insureds nationwide following settlement.

Mr. Bunch served as trial counsel for the investor class in In re American Continental Corporation/Lincoln Savings and Loan Securities Litigation, MDL 834. The recovery achieved for investors, after several years of highly adversarial litigation and a months-long trial, exceeded $250 million.

Mr. Bunch served as Co-Lead counsel in the MDL proceedings of In re Polaris Aircraft Income Fund, which resulted in a settlement valued at approximately $110 million.

Mr. Bunch also litigated a series of cases involving the sale of so-called "vanishing premium" life insurance policies, including cases against Prudential Insurance and MetLife, which alone returned over $3 billion to defrauded policyholders. Other cases included actions against New York Life, John Hancock, Equitable oflowa, American General and others. He litigated Manners v. American General Life Assurance Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, which involved the sale of so-called "industrial" life insurance policies and alleged race discrimination in premium setting. He served as local counsel for the Class in the indirect purchaser anti-trust action against Brand Name Prescription Drug makers in Davidson County (Tennessee) Circuit Court, which returned over $7 million in prescription drug benefits distributed through community health centers throughout Tennessee.
