 Re: Doss v. Transocean Shipmanagment GmbH 

 Case No. 06-07072-JL

Our File No: 2557

Dear Judge Larson: 

After many attempts to serve Hyundai Marine over the last month and a half using 

the information on the California Secretary of State’s website, we talked to their attorneys 

and they have agreed to accept service and file an answer by October 12, 2007. We

presently expect to be dismissing Transocean Shipmanagement and Lungi Shipping, 

without prejudice, based on argument from counsel that they are not liable as the ship 

managers. We may bring them back in if we find an adequate basis for liability. We are 

respectfully requesting an additional forty-five days so that the case may be at issue 

before the first conference. In the meantime, we will do our best to effectuate service on 

the remaining two defendants, First Ocean Bulk and John T. Esseberger. Thank you. 

 Sincerely yours, 

 BIRNBERG & ASSOCIATES
