e. *Public entities*
(1) [4:174] *Actions against State: *In an action against the State,
service of summons must be made upon the Attorney
General. [Gov.C. 955.4] (There are a few exceptions in which service may
be made on the Attorney General *or *some
other specified state official; see Gov.C. 955.6 and 955.8; and Gov.C.
8880.72 for actions against State Lottery
Commission.)
(2) [4:175] *Against local agencies: *In suits against any other public
authority or agency, service may be made by delivering
copies of the summons and complaint to the clerk, secretary, president,
presiding officer or other head of its governing
body. [CCP 416.50(a); see *Wagner v. City of South Pasadena *(2000) 78
CA4th 943, 951, 93 CR2d 91, 9697
service on associate in law firm representing city insufficient]
of Public Agencies*, and every public
entity is required to submit the names and addresses of its governing board
members and officers for inclusion in
said roster. [Gov.C. 53050, 53051]
In addition, the county clerk of each county is required to maintain a
similar roster for those public agencies having
offices within the county. [Gov.C. 53051(c)]
Consequently, always consult one of these rosters before attempting service
on a public entity defendant. This will
assure valid service on the defendant. (Also, the roster listing will give
you the exact name of the agency, so that you
can make sure you are suing it by its correct name.)
