Attorney representing: 

 Defendant and Counterclaimant, ABBY FARMS, INC., dba 

MERCADO DEL VALLE 

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 date of deposit for mailing in affidavit. 

I declare that I am employed in the office of a member of the bar of this court at 

whose direction the service was made. 

Executed on April 1, 2010, at Fresno, California.
