I am a citizen of the United States and employed in Pulaski County, Arkansas. I am over
2
the age of eighteen years and not a party to the within-entitled action. My business address is
3
2800 Cantrell Rd., Suite 510, Little Rock, Arkansas 72202.
4
I am readily familiar with Carney Bates & Pulliam, PLLC’s practice for collection and
5
processing of documents for service via email, and that practice is that the documents are attached
6
to an email and sent to the recipient’s email account.
7
I am also readily familiar with this firm’s practice for collection and processing of
8
correspondence for mailing with the United States Postal Service. Following ordinary business
9
practices, the envelope was sealed and placed for collection and mailing on this date, and would,
10
in the ordinary course of business, be deposited with the United States Postal Service on this date.
