Among the grounds the court cited for denying Defendants’ motion 17 (without prejudice) was the apparent failure of Defendants to have served Livespark with Defendants’ 18 motion. (ECF No. 48 at 1.) While the Certificate of Service accompanying Defendants’ motion did not 19 reflect service on Livespark (ECF No. 42 at 6; 1/6/2017), it has come to the court’s attention that 20 Defendants subsequently filed a “Proof of Service” on Livespark’s resident agent, Nevada Legal Forms, 21 Inc. (ECF No. 47, 1/18/2017.) 22 The court overlooked the Proof of Service of the motion. Nevertheless, the conclusion reached 23 in the court’s order remains. The same rationale the court expressed in the order as to the questionable 24 validity of the service of the underlying subpoena on Livespark’s resident agent apply equally as well 25 to the putative service of the motion, also on the resident agent. (Order, ECF No. 48, at 2-5.) 26 /// 27 /// 28 1 2 Accordingly, the court re-affirms its Order denying Defendants’ Motion for Sanctions/Motion to Compel (ECF No. 42). 3 IT IS SO ORDERED. 4 DATED: January 31, 2017. 5 ____________________________________ WILLIAM G.
