Code § 2011, provides that service may be made upon a dissolved corporation by personal delivery to the Secretary of State or to an assistant or deputy Secretary of State of the Summons, Complaint and the Order. Under C.C.P. § 416.20(b) and Corp. Code § 2011(b), this Court may order that Summons or other process be served upon Defendant by personally delivering a copy thereof, together with a copy of the Order, to the Secretary of State or an assistant or deputy Secretary of State. Corp. Code § 2011 became effective January 1, 1977. This Court may still order that service upon Defendant be made by personally delivering a copy thereof to the Secretary of State pursuant to the former Corp. Code § 3305. A true and correct copy of the text of former Corp. Code § 3305 is attached to the accompanying request for judicial notice. Former Corp. Cede § 3305 states in relevant part: Summons or other process against a corporation dissolved on or after August 14, 1929, may be served by delivering a copy thereof : to an officer, director, or other person having charge of its assets, . or if no such person can be found, to any agent upon whom process might be served at the time of dissolution. If none of such persons can be found with due diligence and it is shown to the satisfaction of the court or judge, then the court or judge may make an order that summons or other process be served upon the dissolved corporation ey delivering a copy thereof, together with a copy of the order, to the Secretary of State or to an assistant or deputy secretary of state. Under Corp. Code § 2011 and former Corp. Code § 3305 service of summons by delivery] of process to the Secretary of State is proper where no person having charge of the asscts of a dissolved corporation is found in the exercise of due diligence. As set forth in the accompanying declaration of Jeremy De La Torre, filed herewith, all persons having charge of such assets are now deceased, and plaintiff has not been able to locate any such other person in the exercise of due diligence.
