`PROOF OF SERVICE
`
`I declare that I am over the age of eighteen (18) and not a party to this action. My
`
`business address is 34 Hermosa Avenue, Hermosa Beach, California 90254. My electronic
`service address is: tonyalyn@justiceteam.com.
`
` On February 4, 2022 I caused a true and correct copy of the foregoing document described
`as, [PROPOSED] JOINT LIST OF WITNESSES to be served on the interested parties in
`this action, as follows:
`
`
`SEE ATTACHED SERVICE LIST
`
`BY MAIL: I am readily familiar with the business' practice for collection and
`processing of correspondence for mailing with the United States Postal Service. I know
`that the correspondence was deposited with the United States Postal Service on the same
`day this declaration was executed in the ordinary course of business. I know that the
`envelope was sealed and, with postage thereon fully prepaid, placed for collection and
`mailing on this date in the United States mail at Hermosa Beach, California.
`
`BY PERSONAL SERVICE: I caused the above referenced document(s) to be hand
`delivered to the above-named person(s).
`
`BY FAX TRANSMISSION (C.C.P. § 1013(e); C.R.C. 2.306: The document listed
`above was transmitted from fax number (310) 914-5401 to a fax machine maintained by
`the person on whom the document is served at the fax telephone number set forth on the
`attached Service List, on this date before 5:00 p.m., and a record of the transmission
`caused to be printed showing the date and time of the transmission, and that the
`transmission was reported as complete and without error.
`
`BY OVERNIGHT MAIL (C.C.P. § 1013(c)): By following ordinary business practices
`for collection and processing of correspondence with said overnight mail service, the
`document listed above was placed in a sealed envelope addressed to the parties set forth
`on the attached Service List, and delivered to an authorized courier or driver authorized
`by the express service carrier, with delivery fees fully prepaid or provided for.
`
`BY ELECTRONIC MAIL (C.C.P. § 1010.6(a)6(b); C.R.C. 2.251(a)(1). Based on a
`court order or an agreement of the parties to accept service by electronic transmission
`(or pursuant to Emergency Rule 12), I caused the documents to be sent to the persons at
`their electronic notification addresses. I did not receive, within a reasonable time after
`the transmission, any electronic message or other indication that the transmission was
`unsuccessful. My electronic notification address is tonyalyn@justiceteam.com.
`
`(STATE) I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that
`the above is true and correct. (C.C.P. § 2015.5)
`
`
`Executed on February 4, 2022 at Hermosa Beach, California.
