Case No. C-06-04578-CRB 2

Mohamed, Dahaiba S.Mohamed a/k/a Dahaba S. Mohamed, Kalifa Yahya

Mohamed, Saleh Yahya Mohamed, Khaled Mohamed and Ramzey Mohamed. 

3. Defendants Kalifa Yahya Mohamed, Saleh Yahya Mohamed, Khaled Mohamed

and Ramzey Mohamed have moved to set aside the default and amended default

judgments entered against them and to quash service of process. 

4. Defendants, Kalifa Yahya Mohamed and Saleh Mohamed, are minors. Because

these defendants are minors, Default Judgment against them is vacated pursuant to

Rule 55(b)(2) of the Fed.R.Civ. P. The resultant Amended Default Judgment

entered against Defendants Kalifa Yahya Mohamed and Saleh Mohamed is void

pursuant to Rule 60(b)(4). 

5. Defendants Ramzey Mohamed and Khaled Mohamed cannot be served within the

State of California, or will not voluntarily appear, and therefore personal

jurisdiction over these Defendants cannot be obtained with reasonable efforts by

service of a summons in accordance with Rule 4 of the Fed.R.Civ.P. The

Amended Default Judgment entered against these Defendants is void pursuant to

Rule 60(b)(4). 

6. The parties stipulate and agree that the Motion to Quash Service of Process is

moot because the judgment is void pursuant to Rule 60(b)(4).

7. The parties stipulate to the entry of an Order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1655,

directing Defendants, Kalifa Yahya Mohamed, Saleh Yahya Mohamed, Khaled

Mohamed and Ramzey Mohamed, and any and all other parties claiming an

interest in the Mandela Property and/or the Peralta Property to appear or plead by

a day certain. 

8. The parties agree that personal service is not practicable upon these four

defendants, Kalifa Yahya Mohamed, Saleh Yahya Mohamed, Khaled Mohamed

and Ramzey Mohamed, and therefore the Order referred to in paragraph 7 above

shall be published in Alameda County, California, the county where the Peralta
