SERVICE BY PUBLICATION OR OTHER ALTERNATIVE MEANS 19 Due process requires that a defendant in a civil action be given notice of the action that is 20 reasonably calculated to apprise the defendant of the pendency of the action and afford the 21 defendant an opportunity to present his or her objection. Mullane v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Trust 22 Co.,

(1950). Service by publication or other alternative means is permitted upon 23 a showing that service by traditional means is impracticable because the defendant cannot be 24 located through due diligence.
