I am employed in San Mateo, California, am over the age of eighteen years, and
am not a party to the above-captioned action. My business address is 177 Bovet Road, Suite 600, San Mateo, CA 94402. On the date set forth below, I caused the following documents: Summons in a Civil Case Complaint and Request for Jury Trial Order Setting Case Management Conference Supplemental Order to Order Setting Case Management Conference in Civil Cases Before Judge William Alsup Civil Cover Sheet Notice of Availability of Magistrate Judge to Exercise Jurisdiction U.S. District Court Northern District of California ECF Registration Information Handout Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should be Related Welcome to the U.S. District Court, San Francisco to be served on the parties listed below by the following manner: (By Mail) By placing a true and correct copy of the referenced documents, enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed as stated below, with first class postage thereon fully prepaid, for collection and mailing on the date set forth herein following ordinary business practices, in the United States Mail, San Mateo, California Raymond Tse 555 Montgomery Street, Suite 610 San Francisco, CA 94111 3.

licensed private investigator and registered process server, Glen Alberigi, had previously 25 26 27 28 served copies of the same documents on Mr. Tse on September 27, 2007 because Mr. Alberigi reported to me that Mr. Tse dropped the documents on the floor after Mr. Alberigi handed them to Mr. Tse, and because today I received a set of these same documents in the mail accompanied by an anonymous note stating "We found this on the floor," in an envelope with a -2COOKE DEC.

return address for the United Commercial Bank, 555 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94111. I have reason to believe that the foregoing address is a valid business address for Mr. Tse because 555 Montgomery Street is the address at which Mr. Tse was served by Mr. Alberigi on September 27 (in the lobby of the building), and, I am informed and believe that Mr. Tse uses the offices located in Suite 610 at this address. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on October 2, 2007.
