DECLARATION OF TOMAS E. MARGAIN IN SUPPORT

I, TOMAS E. MARGAIN, declare as follows: 

1. I am an attorney duly authorized to practice before this Court and Plaintiff’s 

attorney of record in this action. I base this declaration on my personal knowledge unless 

otherwise indicated.

2. This lawsuit was filed on October 30, 2015. Docket 1. The Original Complaint 

only included one Plaintiff, ALVARO PENA ROJAS. However, after filing the Compliant, I 

was hired by another former employee HUMERTO VILLEGAS who was added to the lawsuit 

by the filing of a First Amended Complaint on January 12, 2016. Docket 5.

3. I was delayed in serving the Complaint because I wanted to wait until the 

Complaint was amended to then serve Defendants.

4. To date I have attempted to serve Defendants on three occasions the first attempt 

being on January 28, 2016. I am attaching as Exhibit 1 a true and correct copy of an email from 

my process server One Legal.

5. I attempted to serve Defendants at the home of Michael Wallau and not his 

restaurant. This was the address listed with the Secretary of State. However, based on the three 

failed attempts, I am going to serve Mr. Wallau at his restaurant to make sure there are no more 

delays.

I declare under penalties of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing 

is true and accurate. Executed in San Jose, Santa Clara California.

Dated: February 10, 2016.
