I was sued and the order to appear never arrived. I spoke to the judge and she said it doesn't matter. If it was sent out with USPS, it's considered delivered.

- bpodgursky 7y agoThis article was clear that the judge required defendants to be properly served. I can't speak to everywhere, but I thought that was pretty standard practice.
- 77pt77 7y agoYou mean the judge that never even studied law?
- bpodgursky 7y agoYes, that one, if you read the article like I did: > He made sure no one was arrested unless they’d been reached by personal service or certified mail. > As long as the defendant had been properly served, the judge’s answer was always yes. I'm not trying to justify anything else, but the experience of being arrested without being properly served does not align with the article in question.
