3 4 I am employed by the law office of Rutan & Tucker, LLP in the County of Orange, State of California. I am over the age of 18 and not a party to the within action. My business address is 5 611 Anton Boulevard, Suite 1400, Costa Mesa, California 92626-1931. 6 7 On May 19, 2011, I served on the interested parties in said action the within: NOTICE OF DEMAND FOR RECLAMATION OF GOODS
8 by placing a true copy thereof in sealed envelope(s) addressed as stated on the attached mailing list. 9 In the course of my employment with Rutan & Tucker, LLP, I have, through first-hand personal observation, become readily familiar with Rutan & Tucker, LLP's practice of collection 10 and processing correspondence for mailing with the United States Postal Service. Under that practice I deposited such envelope(s) in an out-box for collection by other personnel of Rutan & 11 Tucker, LLP, and for ultimate posting and placement with the U.S. Postal Service on that same day 12 in the ordinary course of business. If the customary business practices of Rutan & Tucker, LLP with regard to collection and processing of correspondence and mailing were followed, and I am 13 confident that they were, such envelope(s) were posted and placed in the United States mail at Costa Mesa, California, that same date. I am aware that on motion of party served, service is 14 presumed invalid if postal cancellation date or postage meter date is more than one day after date of deposit for mailing in affidavit. 15 Executed on May 19, 2011, at Costa Mesa, California. 16 I declare under penalty of perjury that I am employed in the office of a member of the bar 17 of this Court at whose direction the service was made and that the foregoing is true and correct. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Arnie Tancas (Type or print name) (Signature)
