`
`Case 3:23-cv-05824-SK Document 24-1 Filed 04/22/24 Page 2 of 2
`
`
`
`
`I, Rhett O. Millsaps II, declare as follows:
`1.
`I am a member of the law firm Lex Lumina PLLC and counsel for Plaintiff Google LLC.
`I submit this declaration based on personal knowledge and following reasonable investigation. If called
`as a witness, I could testify competently to the truth of each statement.
`2.
`On November 22 and December 4, 2023, Google served Defendants Nguyen Van Duc
`and Pham Van Thien with the Summons and Complaint in the manner authorized by the Court’s order
`permitting alternative service. See ECF No. 19. On April 22, 2024, Google filed a Certificate of
`Service with the Court verifying that service had been perfected. See ECF No. 23.
`3.
`Under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendants were required to file
`a response within 21 days of service, which was perfected on December 4, 2023. Defendants thus were
`required to respond by December 26, 2023.1
`4.
`As of the date of this declaration, Defendants have failed to file a responsive pleading
`or motion.
`5.
`On information and belief, Defendants are neither minors nor incompetent persons.
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my
`knowledge.

`deadline to respond to the Complaint was December 26, 2023.
