2.
I am a private detective and a California registered process server.
I am
frequently retained by attorneys to locate defendants in lawsuits to effect service of process. In this case, I have been retained by Plaintiffs' counsel to find various defendants and serve them with the Summons and Complaint. 3. I use various "search locators" in an effort to locate individuals. "Search
locators" are businesses that search for data on a person, such as addresses, criminal records, and credit, and create databases. Some search locators are IRB Search, Merlin Information, and Baxter Research. 4. Plaintiffs' counsel also retained me to serve Ms. Theresa Wong with the
Summons and Complaint in this case. 5. I was to serve Ms. Wong at her last known office address at 555 Montgomery
Street Suite 610 San Francisco, California. Days I attempted service on: 6. I went to 555 Montgomery Street on September 24, 2007, October 18, 2007,
November 11, 2007, November 27, 2007, November 28, 2007, December 5, 2007, February 4, 2008, and February 5, 2008 and conducted surveillance at that location to wait for Ms. Wong to appear. She did not, however, appear at the above address on those days. Accordingly, I have never seen Ms. Wong at that office address. 7. Because I have been unable to serve her at her last known office address, if I do
not have Ms. Wong's home address, it will not be possible for me to effect service of process. 8. I have tried to locate Ms. Wong's home address through my usual search locators
with negative results. 9. Because I have neither an office address nor a home address for Ms. Wong, I do
not know her whereabouts, and I am unable to serve her. 10. Plaintiffs' counsel also retained me to serve Mr. James Yu with the Summons and
Complaint in this case. I was to serve Mr. Yu at his work at the California Department of Motor Vehicles, 1377 Fell Street, San Francisco, CA.
