Defendants Charles Dible (who filed an answer pro se to the original complaint in this action) 

and Sunagra Incorporated (which did not answer the original complaint) have not signed this 

Supplemental Case Management Conference Statement, as Plaintiffs’ counsel was unable to 

adequately explain to Mr. Dible its import or the necessity for him to participate in its drafting.

Re: Ratto Bros., Inc. v. Sunagra Incorporated 

 United States District Court, N.D. Cal., Case No. C06-03442 

PROOF OF SERVICE

I am a citizen of the United States. My business address is P.O. Box 20799, Oakland, 

California 94620. I am employed in the County of Alameda where this service occurs. I am 

over the age of 18 and am not a party to this action. I am readily familiar with Rynn & 

Janowsky’s normal business practice for collection and processing of documents for mailing 

with the United States Postal Service, and that practice is that the documents for mailing are 

deposited with the United States Postal Service on the same day as they placed for collection in 

the ordinary course of business. 

On November 1, 2006, following Rynn & Janowsky’s ordinary business practices, I 

served by mail a true copy of the following document: 

SUPPLEMENTAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT 

on the individual listed below. I placed copies of the document in envelopes, with First Class 

postage fully prepaid, addressed as follows: 

Charles K. Dible 

P.O. Box 965 

South San Francisco, CA 94083-0965 

Sacramento, CA 95825 

Facsimile No.: (650) 244-4902 

 I caused the envelope to be placed in the United States mail in Berkeley, California, on 

November 1, 2006. In addition, on the same day, I served the individual listed above via 

facsimile at the number noted above. 

 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California and of the 

United States that the above is true and correct. 

 Executed on November 1, 2006, at Berkeley, California.
