BAIG : FILED ON BEHALF OF ROBBINS GELLER CHEMICAL AND MINING COMPANY OF : RUDMAN & DOWD LLP IN SUPPORT OF CHILE INC., et al., : APPLICATION FOR AWARD OF : ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES Defendants. : x 4830-1136-6361.v1 Case 1:15-cv-02106-ER Document 249 Filed 02/26/21 Page 2 of 10 I, AELISH M. BAIG, declare as follows: 1. I am a member of the firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP (“Robbins Geller” or the “Firm”). I am submitting this declaration in support of my Firm’s application for an award of attorneys’ fees, expenses and charges (“expenses”) in connection with services rendered in the above-entitled action (the “Litigation”). 2. This Firm is counsel of record for Lead Plaintiff The Council of the Borough of South Tyneside Acting in its Capacity as the Administering Authority of the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund, and the Class (“Plaintiff” or “Tyne and Wear Pension Fund”). 3. The information in this declaration regarding the Firm’s time and expenses is taken from time and expense reports and supporting documentation prepared and/or maintained by the Firm in the ordinary course of business. I am the partner who oversaw and/or conducted the day-to- day activities in the Litigation and I reviewed these reports (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 reports 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. Based on this review and the adjustments made, I believe that the time reflected in the Firm’s lodestar calculation and the expenses for which payment is sought herein are reasonable and were necessary for the effective and efficient prosecution and resolution of the Litigation. In addition, I believe that these 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 the Litigation by the Firm is 19,640.05. A breakdown of the lodestar is provided in the attached Exhibit A. The - 1 - 4830-1136-6361.v1 Case 1:15-cv-02106-ER Document 249 Filed 02/26/21 Page 3 of 10 lodestar amount for attorney/paraprofessional time based on the Firm’s current rates is $10,340,676.25. The hourly rates shown in Exhibit A are the usual and customary rates set by the Firm for each individual. 5. The Firm seeks an award of $1,146,925.56 in expenses and charges in connection with the prosecution of the Litigation. Those expenses and charges are summarized by category in the attached Exhibit B. 6. The following is additional information regarding certain of these expenses: (a) Filing, Witness and Other Fees: $10,722.15.

The vendors who were paid for these services are set forth in the attached Exhibit C. (b) Business Wire: $800.00. This expense was necessary under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995’s (“PSLRA”) “early notice” requirements, which provides, among other things, that “[n]ot later than 20 days after the date on which the complaint is filed, the plaintiff or plaintiffs shall cause to be published, in a widely circulated national business-oriented publication or wire service, a notice advising members of the purported plaintiff class – (I) of the pendency of the action, the claims asserted therein, and the purported class period; and (II) that, not later than 60 days after the date on which the notice is published, any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff of the purported class.” See 15 U.S.C. §78u- 4(a)(3)(A)(i). - 2 - 4830-1136-6361.v1 Case 1:15-cv-02106-ER Document 249 Filed 02/26/21 Page 4 of 10 (c) Transportation, Hotels & Meals: $122,184.50.

Traditional rangoli designs are often created on the ground in front of the entrances to homes, using finely ground powders in vivid colors. This ancient art form is believed to have originated from the Indian state of Maharashtra, and it is known by different names, such as kolam or aripana, in other states. Rangoli de- signs are considered to be symbols of good luck and welcome, and are created, usually by women, for special occasions such as festivals (espe- cially Diwali), marriages, and birth ceremonies.

  • Introduction Chapter 1
    Notes Introduction 1. In this book, unless otherwise indicated, the word anthropology will be used as a short­ cut to designate sociocultural anthropology. Chapter 1 1. Pre-publication drafts of the 1991 article that sections of this chapter are based upon capitalized "Savage" when this term referred to the abstract category, rather than to a specific and historical subject or group of individuals. That distinction was obvious in Trouillot 1991; in this volume capitalization of the term will be used for clarity. 2. For reasons of space, I cannot retrace here all the connections between re cent debates in philosophy and literary theory and recent critiques of anthropology. Our readings are too parochial anyway-to the point that any major thinker needs to be translated into the discipline by an insider. Anthropology has much more to learn from other disci­ plines, notably history, literary criticism, and philosophy, than the reflexivist inter­ preters assume. There are blanks to be filled by the reader with proper use of the bibliographical references. 3. Other reasons aside, long-term fieldwork in the so-called Third World, after the initial dissertation, is becoming more difficult and less rewarding for a majority of anthropol­ ogists. Unfortunately, issues such as the increased competition for funds to do fieldwork abroad or the growing proportion of two-career families within and outside of academe only make good conversation. Practitioners tend to dismiss them in written (and there­ fore "serious") assessments of trends in the discipline. The sociology of our practice is perceived as taboo, but see Wolf (1969), whose early appeal for such a sociology fell on deaf ears, and Rabinow (1991).
