[PROPOSED] ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE OF SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT VIA PUBLICATION 

ORDER

The matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s 

(“Plaintiff”) Report re: Status of Service of Summons and Request to Serve Defendant via 

Publication and Continue Initial CMC, which was filed with the Court on January 18, 2019. 

Having considered the evidence and other matters presented to the Court, the Court finds 

that Plaintiff has set forth sufficient facts establishing the need to effect service of the Summons 

and Complaint in this action upon Defendant Gerald Shmavonian (“Defendant”) by publication. 

The Court therefore ORDERS that service shall be effective when made on Defendant as follows: 

1. By publication in the East Bay Times, which is a newspaper of general circulation 

located in the Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, such publication being made a 

total of four (4) times on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. 

2. By sending four emails to Defendant, one at each time of publication as set forth 

above, to the following email addresses: FLWestate@aol.com,

schmavonian@aol.com, and shmavonian@aol.com.

The Court further ORDERS that, in order to allow Plaintiff to serve Defendant, the initial 

Case Management Conference presently set for January 25, 2019 is to be continued to April 26, 

2019.

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
