Defendant's Motion to Quash Service of Summons is GRANTED in part. The court considered Plaintiff's objection to the timing of the motion to quash and is ruling on the motion on the merits.
The Court has previously granted a motion to quash service of process via substitute service on "Arash Ghanadan, Agent for Service." The Court commented that Plaintiff advanced several theories as to other possible methods of service, but made no rulings as to those methods as there was no proof of service on file reflecting such service. The Court gave Plaintiffs an opportunity to file amendment proof of service or to re-serve. Plaintiff chose to file an amended proof of service.
Substitute service on "Arash Ghanadan, Chief Executive Officer/Agent for Service" is quashed. The Court has previously quashed service on "Arash Ghanadan, Agent for Service." Substitute service without attempts at personal service on Arash Ghanadan, Chief Executive Officer is improper. Motion is denied based on purportedly defective summons. The summons are code compliant. =(501/CFH)
