PROOF OF SERVICE

I am a resident of the State of California, over the age of eighteen years, and not a party 

to the within action. My business address is: 633 West Fifth Street, Suite 4900, Los Angeles, 

CA 90071. On February ___, 2006, I served the within documents: 

NOTICE AND ORDER FOR SUBSTITUTION OF ATTORNEYS 

o by transmitting via facsimile the document(s) listed above to the fax number(s) set 

forth below on this date before 5:00 p.m. 

x by placing the document(s) listed above in a sealed envelope with postage thereon 

fully prepaid, in United States mail in the State of California at Los Angeles, 

addressed as set forth below. 

o by personally delivering the document(s) listed above to the person(s) at the 

address(es) set forth below. 

H. Wade Sammis, Esq. 

Wohl, Sammis & Perkins, LLP 

1006 4th Streeet, 4th Floor 

Sacramento, CA 95814 

I am readily familiar with the firm’s practice of collection and processing correspondence 

for mailing. Under that practice it would be deposited with the U.S. Postal Service on that same 

day with postage thereon fully prepaid in the ordinary course of business. I am aware that on 

motion of the party served, service is presumed invalid if postal cancellation date or postage 

meter date is more than one day after the date of deposit for mailing in affidavit. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the above 

is true and correct. 

Executed on February ___, 2006, at Los Angeles, California.
