`DECLARATION OF JESSE CLEMENS
`
`1, Jesse Clemens, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I work at Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“SIE”). My job title is
`
`Technical Supervisor, Software Engineering.
`
`I have been employed by SIE or its predecessors-
`
`in-interest since 2011.
`
`I am familiar with the facts set forth herein and could testify competently
`
`thereto.
`
`2.
`
`I submit this Declaration in support of SIE’s motion to transfer this case due to
`
`improper venue.
`
`3.
`
`The facts set forth in this Declaration were true as of August 12, 2019 and
`
`remain true at present.

`
`4.
`
`I have been informed that the plaintiff in this case has made the following
`
`allegation in a brief filed in this case:
`
`SIE employs personnel in this District and requires or strongly encourages them
`to reside within the District. For example, one of SIE’s senior software engineers
`resides in New York. Ex. H (Jesse_Clemens_LinkedIn. Pdf.).
`
`5.
`
`I live in New York solely for personal and familial reasons, not because SIE
`
`requires or encourages me to do so.
`
`I grew up in New Jersey and have always loved New York
`
`City. In addition, I have two aging parents residing in New Jersey and I prefer living close to
`
`them. SIE sought to hire me multiple times between 2006 and 2010, with the condition that I had
`
`to move to California, but I refused each time. SIE was only successful in hiring me in 2011
`
`after allowing me to work remotely. To perform my job, I telecommute into SIE’s offices in
`
`California and routinely fly to California to be in the office.
`
`I am a senior engineer on the Visual
`
`Arts Service Group (VASG) engineering team at SIE in California, and I mentor and lead less
`
`experienced engineers on my team.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
