PROOF OF SERVICE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO

Re: Juan Carlos Robles v. AgReserves, Inc, et al. United States District Court Case No. 1:14-

CV-00540-AWI-JLT

I am employed in the County of San Bernardino, State of California. I am over the age of 18 

years and not a party to the within action; my business address is: 550 East Hospitality Lane, 

Suite 300, San Bernardino, CA 92408. On April 13, 2016, I served copies of the within 

documents described as PARTIES’ JOINT STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL OF DEFENDANT 

AGRESERVES, INC.’S COUNTER-CLAIM AGAINST PLAINTIFF IN EXCHANGE FOR WAIVER OF 

COSTS AND TO VACATE HEARING DATES on the interested parties in this action in a sealed 

envelope addressed as follows:

See attached Service List

BY MAIL - I am “readily familiar” with the firm’s practice of collecting and processing 

correspondence for mailing. Under that practice, it would be deposited with the United 

States Postal Service on the same day in the ordinary course of business, with postage 

thereon fully prepaid at San Bernardino, California. 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.

X BY CM/ECF SYSTEM - I hereby certify that I electronically transmitted the attached 

document to the Clerk’s Office using the CM/ECF System for filing and transmittal of a 

Notice of Electronic Filing to the ECF registrants listed on the attached Service List.

BY PERSONAL SERVICE - I caused such envelope to be delivered by hand to the offices 

of the addressee pursuant to C.C.P. § 1011.

BY EXPRESS MAIL/OVERNIGHT DELIVERY - I caused such envelope to be 

delivered by hand to the office of the addressee via overnight delivery pursuant to 

C.C.P. § 1013(c), with delivery fees fully prepaid or provided for.

BY FACSIMILE - I caused such document to be delivered to the office of the addressee 

via facsimile machine pursuant to C.C.P. § 1013(e). Said document was transmitted to the 

facsimile number of the office of the addressee from the office of Gresham Savage Nolan & 

Tilden, in San Bernardino, California, on the date set forth above. The facsimile machine I 

used complied with California Rules of Court, Rule 2003(3) and no error was reported by 

the machine. Pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 2009(i), I caused the machine to 

print a record of the transmittal, a copy of which is attached to this declaration.

BY ELECTRONIC/EMAIL - I caused such document to be delivered to the office of the 

addressee via electronic e-mail pursuant to C.C.P. §1013(a). Said document was transmitted 

to the email address of that office which is listed on the above Service List. Said document 

was served electronically and the transmission was reported as complete and without error.

FEDERAL - I am employed in the office of a member of the bar of this court at whose 

direction the service was made.

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

foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on April 13, 2016, at San Bernardino, California.
