DECIARATION OF LISA MATTHEWS 
  

I, LISA MATTHEWS, declare as follows: 

1. I am the mother of plaintiffs Erika Matthews and Jalisa 

Matthews. We reside at 931 Dawson, Apt. 5, Long Beach, California 

90804, which is located in the County of Los Angeles, State of 

California. 

2. Erika is two years old. Jalisa is one year old. 

3. Both have causes of action against the above-captioned 

defendant on which they wish to bring suit in this court. Causes 

of action arise out of the fact that a) my children are in need of 

lead blood testing and, perhaps, treatment; b) they are eligible 

to receive such testing and treatment from the State of California 

Medi-Cal program; and c) they have not received such testing and 

treatment because of the defendant's failure to establish and 

implement a lead screening and treatment program. 

4. My children Erika and Jalisa do not have any other 

guardian or duly appointed representative. 

5. I am fully competent to protect the rights of my 

children Erika and Jalisa as plaintiffs in the above-entitled 

action if I am appointed as their guardian ad litem for that 

purpose. 

6. Y have no interest adverse to my children Erika and 

Jalisa, and I am not associated in business with any of the 

adverse parties or their counsel in the above-entitled action. 

7. Subject to the approval of the court I have retained the 

counsel for plaintiffs in the above-entitled action to represent 

my children Erika and Jalisa in this action. The agreement with 

plaintiffs' counsel does not obligate my children Erika and Jalisa
