PROOF OF SERVICE

I am employed in the County of Los Angeles and I am a resident thereof. I am over the age

of eighteen and not a party to the within action; my business address is 270 N. Cañon Drive, Third

Floor, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

On September 28, 2005 I served the following documents described as:

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING PETITIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN AD

LITEM BY DANTE COVARRUBIAS, ANTHONY COVARRUBIAS, ERIC COVARRUBIAS,

AND LENETTE COVARRUBIAS ON BEHALF OF SABRINA COVARRUBIAS AND

ALEXANDER COVARRUBIAS

on the interested party(ies) in this action by placing true copies thereof enclosed in sealed envelopes

and/or packages addressed as follows:

See Attached List

[x] BY MAIL: I deposited such envelope in the mail at Beverly Hills, California. The

envelope was mailed with postage thereon fully prepaid. 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 at

Beverly Hills, California in the ordinary course of business. I am aware that on motion of the party

served, service is presumed invalid if postage cancellation date or postage meter date is more than

one day after date of deposit for mailing in affidavit.

G BY OVERNIGHT DELIVERY: I served such envelope or package to be delivered

on the same day to an authorized courier or driver authorized by the overnight service carrier to

receive documents, in an envelope or package designated by the overnight service carrier.

[X] BY FACSIMILE: I served said document(s) to be transmitted by facsimile. The

telephone number of the sending facsimile machine was (310) 246-3819. The name(s) and facsimile

machine telephone number(s) of the person(s) served are set forth in the service list. A transmission

report was properly issued by the sending facsimile machine, and the transmission was reported as

complete and without error before 5:00 p.m..

G BY HAND DELIVERY: I caused such envelope(s) to be delivered by hand to the

office of the addressee(s) indicated.

G PERSONAL DELIVERY

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is

true and correct. 

Executed on this September 28, 2005 at Beverly Hills, California.
