I am a resident of North Carolina over 18 years of age, and my statements herein are 27 based on personal knowledge. 28 2 DECLARATION OF NICOLE JO MOSS IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT-INTERVENORS’ MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER, CASE NO. 09-CV-2292 VRW RR 297 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document187-7 Filed09/15/09 Page4 of 7 1 2. This declaration is made in support of Defendant-Intervenors’ motion for a protective 2 order. 3 3. I am an attorney representing Defendant-Intervenors in this matter. I have been coor- 4 dinating Defendant-Intervenors’ discovery requests and responses and, in that capacity, have 5 communicated with Plaintiffs’ counsel regarding various discovery issues. 6 7 4. On August 21, 2009, Plaintiffs propounded to Defendant-Intervenors a First Set of Re- 8 quests for Production. Defendant Intervenors believe that, on their face, the Requests seek material 9 that is both irrelevant and privileged under the First Amendment. On August 27, 2009, Defendant 10 Intervenors transmitted to Plaintiffs a letter stating that we were reading the requests not to seek 11 such irrelevant and/or privileged material. On August 31, 2009, Plaintiffs responded with a letter 12 rejecting, for the most part, our reading of their requests. 13 5. In an attempt to resolve the dispute, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendant-Intervenors 14 15 met and conferred by telephone on two occasions. Below, I describe, to the best of my recollec- 16 tion, the positions adopted by the parties on those calls. To the extent Defendant-Intervenors have 17 misunderstood or misremembered Plaintiffs’ position—or to the extent Plaintiffs’ position has 18 changed—Defendant-Intervenors welcome clarification. 19 6. The first meet and confer was on September 4, 2009. On that call, counsel for Defen- 20 dant-Intervenors explained: (i) that in the August 30 letter, Plaintiffs stated that they “do[] not seek 21 internal communications among and between [Defendant-Intervenors] regarding Proposition 8 and 22 23 the related political campaign, except to the extent that you deem such communications responsive 24 to Requests Nos. 9, 10, 13, 14, or 15”; (ii) that Requests Nos. 9, 10, 13, and 14 seek “[a]ll docu- 25 ments that tend to support or refute” the claims, denials, assertions, arguments, or responses made 26 in Defendant Intervenors Answer (Doc. # 9), Memorandum in Opposition to Motion for Prelimi- 27 28 3 DECLARATION OF NICOLE JO MOSS IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT-INTERVENORS’ MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER, CASE NO.

  • Controversial Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean Is Having a Baby Boy,Carrie Prejean Weds Raiders Quarterback
    Controversial Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean is Having a Baby Boy After their July wedding, Carrie Prejean and Kyle Boller are proud to announce that they’re not only pregnant but are expecting a baby boy on May 9, 2011. Us Weekly reports that Prejean, the controversial Miss California USA 2009 who was stripped of her crown for alleged breaches in contract, is happy about having a boy and becoming a mother. But is the beauty queen concerned about the baby weight? Prejean’s husband, Oakland Raider’s quarterback Kyle Boller, made it clear that he has “the most beautiful pregnant wife ever.” What can you do to make your pregnant partner feel beautiful? Cupid’s Advice: As the months go by and the baby weight piles on, pregnancy can make a woman feel anything, but beautiful. Prove her wrong by borrowing a few of these ideas: 1. Book the spa: If your partner is feeling a little down, surprise her by mentioning that you booked her a prenatal massage at the spa. It’ll show her that she’s still on your mind. Plus, a little rest is always appreciated. 2. Romance her: Bring back date night, and make sure she dresses to the nines. A romantic dinner will help remind her just how much you love being in her company. 3. Spice it up: Being pregnant can make some women feel the farthest thing from sexy. Buy some maternity lingerie, and rekindle the romance. Show her that you still find her beautiful. Carrie Prejean Weds Raiders Quarterback Former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, married Oakland Raiders quarterback, Kyle Boller, last weekend, reported E! Online.

New York Toronto London Auckland Sydney Mexico City New Delhi Hong Kong For my mom and dad PART 1 The Fall CHAPTER 1 Gregor had pressed his forehead against the screen for so long, he could feel a pattern of tiny checks above his eyebrows. He ran his fingers over the bumps and resisted the impulse to let out a primal caveman scream. It was building up in his chest, that long gutteral howl reserved for real emergencies -- like when you ran into a saber-toothed tiger without your club, or your fire went out during the Ice Age. He even went so far as to open his mouth and take a deep breath before he banged his head back into the screen with a quiet sound of frustration. "Ergh." What was the point, anyway? It wouldn't change one thing. Not the heat, not the boredom, not the endless space of summer laid out before him. He considered waking up Boots, his two-year-old sister, just for a little distraction, but he let her sleep. At least she was cool in the air-conditioned bedroom she shared with their seven-year-old sister, Lizzie, and their grandma.

    The Washington Post Trump Interview with Marc Fisher and Michael Kranish June 9, 2016 Marc Fisher: [A cab driver told me,] I’m bothered by all this. I'm hearing about he's a racist. So it's a little – I asked him, how do you decide whether that's true? What would Trump have to do to show you that he's not? And the guy said -- he paused and he said, I don't know. He said, he has to show some love. So I want to throw that at you as a question of -- I mean, it's one of these [cross-talking] -- Donald Trump: I understand what he said. Marc Fisher: -- you can't crawl back from, right? It gets out there. It's in the sewer system. How do you counter that? How do you disprove a word like that? Donald Trump: Well, I am not a racist. And you know, I’m the least racist person that you've ever interviewed to put it a different way. I'll give you an example. It's funny. I just got this. It was just sent to me - Don King, okay?
