SERVICE OF PROCESS
ON THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
1. SUMMONS & COMPLAINT (CCP 416.50)
The Office of The General Counsel of The Regents (“OGC”), 1111 Franklin Street, 8
th
Floor,
Oakland, California 94607-5200, is authorized to accept of service of process on The Regents of
the University of California (“The Regents”). University of California campuses and medical
centers are subsumed entities of The Regents and not independent legal entities; therefore, service
of process on campuses, medical centers, their officials, or other campus or medical center entities
is not proper service on The Regents. (C.C.P. §416.50) Consequently, when designating parties
in a complaint in a civil action arising from a dispute involving The Regents or any of its
subsumed campuses or medical centers, The Regents is the proper party to name as defendant. It
is not necessary to name as a defendant the involved campus or medical center in addition to The
Regents.
A summons and complaint in any action naming The Regents as a defendant may be served by
hand delivery to any attorney at the OGC during regular business hours, or by mail with
accompanying notice and acknowledgment of receipt as provided for by section 415.30 of the
Code of Civil Procedure and F.R.C.P. 4(d). The OGC is open for business from 8:00 a.m. to
noon and 1:00 p.m.to 5:00 p.m. Monday – Friday, except for University holidays and a one week
office closure at the end of each year. For service by mail, a copy of the summons and complaint
along with two copies of a properly executed notice and acknowledgment of receipt or waiver of
service of summons and a pre-paid return envelope must be sent to: Office of the General
Counsel, 1111 Franklin Street, 8
th
Floor, Oakland, CA 94607.
The OGC is also authorized to accept service on behalf of certain designated officers, including
Chancellors, the President of the University, and the General Counsel. Except as just noted, the
OGC is not authorized to accept service of a summons and complaint on behalf of individuals
named as defendants. Named individuals must be served directly in a manner authorized by the
Code of Civil Procedure for service of a summons and complaint, unless specific alternative
arrangements are made with the individuals through the OGC or the campus or medical center
Risk Managers.
2. SMALL CLAIMS COURT ACTIONS
While attorneys in the Office of the General Counsel are authorized to accept service on behalf of
The Regents in any civil action arising from a dispute involving The Regents or any of its
subsumed campuses or medical centers, as described above, in a small claims action complaints
should be served on the Risk Services Office listed in Exhibit A at the relevant campus or medical
center. With the exception of certain designated officers, including the Chancellors and the
President of the University, who may be served by serving an OGC attorney, as described above,
individuals named in a small claims action must be served directly in a manner authorized by the
Code of Civil Procedure for service in such actions. (See CCP sections 116.330 and 116.340.)

3. THE REGENTS IS NOT SUBJECT TO CLAIM-FILING PROVISIONS OF THE
TORT CLAIMS ACT
California Government Code section 905.6 exempts The Regents of the University of California
from claim-filing provisions of the Tort Claims Act. A claimant who wishes to file suit against
The Regents may serve OGC as specified in section 1 above.
4. EARNINGS WITHHOLDING ORDERS
OGC attorneys are authorized to accept service of Earnings Withholding Orders (Wage
Garnishment) relating to University of California Office of the President (“UCOP”) employees
and employees on UC campuses and medical centers. Service of such orders relating to employees
on UC campuses or medical centers may also be made on the appropriate campus office, listed on
Exhibit B hereto.
5. SUBPOENAS
The OGC is not authorized to accept a subpoena for the personal appearance of an individual
employee of the University. When an employee is being subpoenaed to appear personally, then
that employee must be personally served, unless the individual employee consents and specific
alternative arrangements are made through the OGC or the campus or medical center Risk
Managers.
OGC attorneys are authorized to accept service of all subpoenas addressed to The Regents (or a
subunit thereof, such as a campus or school), including duces tecum for records and person most
knowledgeable depositions, regardless of whether the custodian or witness is in the University
of California Office of the President or at the campuses. However, OGC is not authorized to
accept subpoenas addressed to individuals unless addressed to a Chancellor, the President, or an
individual who has previously expressly authorized acceptance. When non-UCOP records are
sought, the appropriate campus office, noted on Exhibit B hereto, can also be served (CCP
2020.220(b)(2)).
