EXHIBIT A 

PROOF OF SERVICE
I, the undersigned, certify and declare that I am over the age of 18 years,
employed in the County of Los Angeles, and not a party to the above-entitled
cause. I am employed by a member of the Bar of the United States District Court of
California. My business address is 517 East Wilson Avenue, Suite 202, Glendale,
California 91206.
On November 9, 2011, I served on the interested parties in this action with:
PROOF OF SERVICE OF SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT ON DEFENDANT
in support for the following civil action:
Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. v. M. Towle, et al.
by placing a true copy thereof in an envelope to be immediately sealed thereafter. I
am readily familiar with the office’s practice of collecting and processing
correspondence for mailing. Under that practice it would be deposited with the
United States Postal Service on the same day with postage thereon fully prepaid at
Glendale, California in the ordinary course of business. I am aware that on motion
of the party served, service presumed invalid if postal cancellation date or postage
meter is more than one day after date of deposit for mailing in affidavit.
