DECLARATION OF MYRA SUN

I, Myra Sun, state and declare as follows:

1. I have represented appellant Francis Schaeffer Cox since May, 2014.

Mr. Cox has asked to represent himself in February, 2015. A Commissioner's

Report & Recommendation recommending against his self-representation issued on

February 25 (Docket No. 58). At my request, this Court issued an order making

Mr. Cox' s pro se response to the Report and Recommendation due on May 8

(Docket No. 61).

2. Attached is Mr. Cox' pro se response to the Report and Recommendation,

together with a draft of a supplemental brief he wishes the Court to consider. I have

prepared an opening brief in this matter, and can verify that the supplemental brief

raises issues I do not intend to raise in the opening brief.

3. In the event that the Court declines to permit Mr. Cox to represent

himself, he asks that the supplemental brief be accepted in addition to the opening

brief.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Dated: May 8, 2015 /S/ Myra Sun MYRA SUN Attorney for Appellant
