UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DISH NETWORK, LLC., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ARMOANDO GONZALEZ

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-00107-LJO-SKO

ORDER FOR SERVICE OF PROCES BY 

REGISTERED PROCESS SERVER

(Doc. 22)

I. INTRODUCTION

On March 12, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a request for an order appointing a registered process 

server to execute the judgment entered against Defendant on August 26, 2013. (Doc. 15.) 

Plaintiffs' ex parte request seeks the appointment of All-n-One Legal Support, which utilizes 

registered California process servers to serve writs of execution. (Doc. 12.) Plaintiffs represent

that the service will utilize process servers who are competent and not less than 18 years of age, 

would not be a party to this action, and all servers are California process servers duly registered in 

all counties in California. Plaintiffs state that the request will result in substantial savings in time 

and travel fees of the United States Marshal, who will remain the levying officer pursuant to 

California Code of Civil Procedure § 699.080.

II. DISCUSSION

The execution of final judgments is governed by Rule 69(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure. Rule 69(a) provides as follows:

(1) Money Judgment; Applicable Procedure. A money judgment is enforced by a 

writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise. The procedure on execution –

and in proceedings supplementary to and in aid of judgment or execution – must 

accord with the procedure of the state where the court is located, but a federal 

statute governs to the extent it applies.

. . . 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 69(a). Pursuant to Rule 69(a), post-judgment enforcement proceedings must 

comply with California law. Credit Suisse v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for Cent. Dist. of Cal., 130 F.3d 1342, 

1344 (9th Cir. 1997); Hilao v. Estate of Marcos, 95 F.3d 848, 850 (9th Cir. 1996).

Under California law, a registered process server may levy under a writ of execution on 

property specified in California Code of Civil Procedure § 699.080(a). A registered process server 

is a person registered as a process server pursuant to the Business and Professions Code. See Cal. 

Civ. Pro. Code § 481.250 (citing Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22350 to 22360). This authority is 

limited to cases where the levy does not involve the possibility of taking immediate possession of 

the property. 

Pursuant to Plaintiffs' representation that All-n-One Legal Support will employ a process 

server who is at least 18 years of age, competent, not a party to this litigation, and duly registered 

in all counties in California, the request to appoint All-n-One Legal Support will be granted. Any 

process server employed by All-n-One Legal Support must be at least 18, not a party to this 

litigation, and registered as a California process server. Plaintiffs shall file a certificate of 

completed service of the writ of execution in this case when it is accomplished.

III. CONCLUSION AND ORDER

For the reasons set forth above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's request is GRANTED;

2. All-n-One Legal Support is appointed to serve process of the writ in this action; 

and
