Syllabus

On appeal from Franklin County Municipal Court decision granting appellee's motion to vacate default judgment on account for lack of proper service. Trial court judgment of vacatur, issued after a hearing during which appellee testified that she never received service of process for the underlying suit and during which appellant failed to present any evidence to refute or undermine that testimony, was not an abuse of discretion. Evidence of appellee's dismissed bankruptcy cases, which were not presented to the trial court, could not establish that appellee was properly served with process. Judgment affirmed.
