`
`PROOF OF SERVICE
`
`I declare as follows:
`
`I am employed in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. I am over the
`age of 18 and not a party to the within action. My business address is 15260 Ventura
`Blvd., 20th Floor, Sherman Oaks, California 91403. On December 28, 2018, I served
`the documents described as: JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO
`EXTEND TIME TO SERVE FOREIGN DEFENDANTS LESSON NINE GMBH AND
`YOTPO LTD on the interested parties in this action as follows:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`TO BE SERVED BY THE COURT VIA NOTICE OF ELECTRONIC
`FILING (“NEF”) pursuant to FRCP, Rule 5(b)(2)(E) and JPML Rule
`4.1 (Pursuant to controlling General Order(s) and Local Rule(s) (“LR”),
`the foregoing document will be served by the court via NEF and hyperlink
`to the document to counsel at the email address(s) listed on Case Docket
`5:18-md-02834-BLF).
`
`BY U.S. MAIL: (SEE ATTACHED SERVICE LIST) By depositing for
`collection and mailing in the ordinary course of business. I am “readily
`familiar” with the firm’s practice of collection and processing
`correspondence for mailing. Under that practice it would be deposited
`with U.S. Postal Service on the same day with postage thereon fully
`prepaid at Sherman Oaks, California in the ordinary course of business. 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 on affidavit.
`
`I declare that 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 United States of America that the above is true and correct.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Executed on December 28, 2018, at Sherman Oaks, California.
