Balwant Prasad v. Kyle Leary

Syllabus

Balwant Prasad sought to sue Kyle Leary in 2022 for injuries Prasad allegedly suffered in a 2016 vehicular collision involving Leary. Prasad's process server attempted to serve Leary with the summons and civil complaint by leaving a copy with Leary's mother at her home even after learning that Leary had moved out. Prasad did not attempt to serve Leary at his new address. The district court dismissed Prasad's suit for lack of personal jurisdiction based on insufficient service of process. Because Prasad's attempted service did not comport with the requirements of the rules of civil procedure, we affirm.
