Case No. 23-2035

Rhonda C. Lucas
v.
Peter J. Warhol

The defendant in an automobile personal injury suit appeals the district court’s rulings denying his motion to dismiss for lack of timely service, extending the time for personal service, and authorizing service on the defendant through service on the attorney appointed by the defendant’s liability insurance carrier. The defendant argues that the court erred by finding the plaintiff had demonstrated good cause by attempting to serve the defendant despite the defendant having no known address.
