PROOF OF SERVICE

I am employed in the County of Los Angeles and I am a resident thereof. I am over the age

of eighteen and not a party to the within action; my business address is 11500 Olympic Blvd., Ste.

400, Los Angeles, CA 90064.

On July 18, 2006, I served the following documents described as:

REQUEST BY ALL PLAINTIFFS FOR AN ORDER DISMISSING THE COMPLAINT

(FRCP 41; L.R. 16-160)

on the interested party(ies) in this action by placing true copies thereof enclosed in sealed envelopes

and/or packages addressed as follows:

See Attached List

[X] BY MAIL: I deposited such envelope in the mail at Redondo Beach, California. The

envelope was mailed with postage thereon fully prepaid. 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 at Los Angeles, California in the

ordinary course of business. I am aware that on motion of the party served, service is presumed invalid if

postage cancellation date or postage meter date is more than one day after date of deposit for mailing in

affidavit.

G BY OVERNIGHT DELIVERY: I served such envelope or package to be delivered on the

same day to an authorized courier or driver authorized by the overnight service carrier to receive documents,

in an envelope or package designated by the overnight service carrier.

[ ] BY FACSIMILE: I served said document(s) to be transmitted by facsimile. The telephone

number of the sending facsimile machine was (310) 444-3044. The name(s) and facsimile machine telephone

number(s) of the person(s) served are set forth in the service list. A transmission report was properly issued

by the sending facsimile machine, and the transmission was reported as complete and without error before

5:00 p.m..

G BY HAND DELIVERY: I caused such envelope(s) to be delivered by hand to the office of

the addressee(s) indicated.

G PERSONAL DELIVERY

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and

correct. 

Executed on this July 18, 2006 at Redondo Beach, California.
