If you refuse to accept service in that manner, you need to advise the party and/or the lawyer who served you that you do not accept email service. I always recommend my clients accept email service of a subpoena for an... Read more »

You say you were in a Target store, and left without paying for some of the things you took out of the store.

Government immunity is a very complicated issue, and quite controversial now. But... Read more »

Since you stated the subpoena duces tecum was mailed to you four months after the date you were supposed to... Read more »

Large group of state confidential informants. With their bosses. Badge holders..narcotics detectives.
So I don't see a question here. Need more details.
I told dental office it went against my religious believes and it also posed a health risk to wear a mask. They allowed me services without wearing one but after I was finished and waiting to pay they asked me to put one on..again I told them I could not..so they told me to find another dentist

You do not have a personal right to opt out of health directories when all businesses in California have been ordered to require mask usage in order to take advantage of their services while on their premises.
