Re: proper court/person

Just to avoid the argument of improper service, I would suggest that you serve the CEO in Oakland. All you have to do is to contact the Oakland Sheriff's office and they will serve the CEO for a nominal fee. You may also check the internet yellow pages for process servers and fax your documents to them for service. Good luck.
