I, CHRISTINA NUGENT, declare:
1.
2
I am licensed to practice law in the state of California, and I am an attorney with
3 the law firm Hanson, Bridgett, Marcus, Vlahos & Rudy LLP, attorneys of record for Defendant
4 Central Transport herein. I make this declaration on my own personal knowledge and, if called as
5 a witness, I could and would testify competently as to these facts.

2.
After receiving service of the Cross-complaint in the state court action entitled The
7 Flesh Company v. Printing Strategy, Inc., Superior Court ofthe State of California, Napa County,
8 Case No. 26-34438, and related Cross-complaint, my office telephoned the Clerk of
the Court for
9 Napa County Superior Court on September 13, 2007, to inquire as to whether any proof of service
i 0 relating to cross-defendant BestW ay Freight Company had been filed with the Court by Crossi i complainant. The Clerk responded that no such proof of service had been filed.

3.
On September 13,2007, and again on September 17,2007, my offce contacted the
office of counsel for Cross-complainant Printing Strategy, Inc. to inquire as to whether Cross-
14
15
defendant Best Way Freight Company had been served with the Cross-complaint. On
September 13, a woman called Lois indicated that she did not know whether Best Way Freight
16 17
18
Company had been served, but would return the call. On September 17, Lois indicated that her
fie did not contain a
proof of service for Best Way Freight Company, but that she would confirm
the same with her supervising attorney.
19
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California and the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration was executed this
17th day of September, at Sacramento, California.
