Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie K. Vaudt, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., Greer, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (7 pages)
3E, also known as Electrical & Engineering Company, and Travelers Indemnity Company appeal the district court’s decision denying their motion to dismiss Steven Bell Jr.’s petition for judicial review on the ground Bell failed to timely serve notice of the petition. OPINION HOLDS: We determine the district court erred by denying the motion to dismiss, as Bell did not substantially comply with the requirements for service of notice found in Iowa Code section 17A.19(2) (2018). We reverse the decision of the district court and remand for an order dismissing the petition for judicial review.
