STIPULATION RE WITHDRAWAL OF 

FILED PROOFS OF SERVICE, 

AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT SERVICE 

OF FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT, 

AND CONTINUANCE OF HEARING 

ON DEFENDANT OBENBERGER’S 

MOTION TO DISMISS; ORDER

 

The parties hereto, by and through their attorneys of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. On November 18, 2013, counsel for plaintiff filed proofs of service in this action 

dated September 5, 2013 which state that defendants County of Mono (“County”), David O’Hara

(“O’Hara”) and Ralph Obenberger (“Obenberger”) were served with summons by substitute 

service on August 28, 2013.

2. Counsel for County, O’Hara and Obenberger disputes that any of said defendants 

was properly served. Obenberger voluntarily appeared in the action and filed a motion to dismiss 

the original complaint, which motion was rendered moot when plaintiff filed a first amended 

complaint (“FAC”). Thereafter, Obenberger filed a motion to dismiss the FAC which is scheduled 

for hearing on December 5, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. 

3. No defendant other than Obenberger has been served with the FAC and no 

defendant other than Obenberger previously appeared in this action.

4. Subsequent to the filing of the FAC and the proofs of service referenced above, counsel for 

plaintiff and counsel for defendants conferred and discussed the validity of service and the possibility of 

resolving informally their dispute in connection therewith. As a result, counsel for the parties agreed to 

issuance of an order consistent with the terms set forth in paragraphs 5 through 7 below.

5. Plaintiff agrees to withdraw the proofs of service filed November 18, 2013 which address 

service on the County, O’Hara and Obenberger.

6. Bolling & Gawthrop agrees to accept service of summons and the FAC on behalf of 

defendants County and O’Hara effective November 22, 2013, and further agrees that the response(s) of said 

defendants to the FAC will be filed on or before January 21, 2014. 

7. Bolling & Gawthrop has agreed to continue, to February 20, 2014, hearing on 

Obenberger’s motion to dismiss the FAC, and further agrees that if a motion to dismiss or similar pleading 

challenge is filed on behalf of County and/or O’Hara, said motion(s) will be set for hearing on the same day 

as the Obenberger motion.
