Opinion
NEEDHAM, J.
Appellant Carlos McClatchy is the beneficiary of an irrevocable trust that was administered by a now-deceased partner of respondent law firm Coblentz, Patch, Duffy & Bass, LLP (the Firm). This appeal is taken from an order granting the Firm’s motion to quash service of an amended petition seeking damages for the alleged mismanagement of that trust. (Code Civ. Proc., § 904.1, subd. (a)(3).)1 Appellant argues the trial court erred when it found he did not comply with section 474 in attempting to substitute the Firm as a Doe defendant. We affirm.
