FRAMING'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT P:\DOCS\Western Nat.Cilker\Pleadings\MSJ\Madera Framing.WNC\Western's Opposition\Decl.Erlinger (MSJ1).docx

DECLARATION OF MICHAEL A. ERLINGER

I, Michael A. Erlinger, declare as follows:

1. I am an attorney at law duly licensed to practice before all of the courts in the State

of California. I am Of Counsel with the law firm of Green & Hall, A Professional Corporation,

counsel of record for Defendant and Cross-Complainant WESTERN NATIONAL

CONSTRUCTION ("Western") in this action. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in

this Declaration and, if called as a witness, could and would testify competently to such facts

under oath.

2. I am submitting this declaration in support of Western's Opposition to Madera

Framing, Inc.'s ("Madera Framing") Motion for Summary Judgment.

3. Green & Hall represented Western in Case No. CV10004 in the Superior Court of

Santa Clara in which Defendant and Cross-Defendant Madera Framing sued Western in

connection with a mechanic's lien regarding the One Pearl Place Apartments. Western did not file

a Cross-Complaint against Madera Framing or Rounds & Buroker, Inc. dba Madera Construction

("Madera Construction") based upon our review of our firm's file and the docket in that matter.

4. The deposition of Jerry Merry, "person most knowledgeable" for Defendants and

Cross-Defendants Madera Framing and Madera Construction went forward on October 26, 2015.

Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a true and correct copy of the relevant portions of Volume I of

Mr. Merry's deposition transcript.

5. Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a true and correct copy of Exhibit 339 to Mr.

Merry's deposition.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on this 22 day of April, 2016, at Santa Ana, California.
