[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO ALLOW 

SERVICE OF PROCESS ON 

DEFENDANT BERKELEY 

EXECUTIVES, INC. THROUGH 

SECRETARY OF STATE 

Hearing Date: January 16, 2020 

Time: 10:00 a.m. 

Courtroom: 4, 17th Floor 

The Motion to Allow Service of Process on Defendant Berkeley Executives, Inc. through 

Secretary of State (“Motion”) filed by Plaintiff Sentinel Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Sentinel”) 

was scheduled for hearing on January 16, 2020. Based on the papers submitted in connection 

with the Motion, the Court finds the matter suitable for determination without a hearing. 

The Court finds that Sentinel has demonstrated that the agent designated for service of 

process for Defendant Berkeley Executives, Inc. (“Berkeley Executives”) with the Secretary of 

State cannot with reasonable diligence be found at the address designated for personally 

delivering the process. The Court further finds that Sentinel has demonstrated to the satisfaction 

of the Court that process against this domestic corporation cannot be served with reasonable 

diligence upon the designated agent by hand.
