How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

finding that a court had jurisdiction even when a summons was defective for providing an incorrect response date
holding that summons that recited that response was due in three days rather than thirty days resulted in no prejudice as the defendant did not raise the error until a district judge mentioned it, and thus the error did not deprive the court of jurisdiction
stating that civil conspiracy claims accrue from the time of each overt act
explaining that “there was no mistake by [lessee’s] attorney. Rather, the failure to respond to either the complaint or the motion to enter a default was voluntary and intentional and an essential part of his strategy to permit a default judgment”
denying litigant’s request to toll accrual of fraud claim because evidence indicated he was aware of business misconduct
“when action assertable as [compulsory] counterclaim is brought in same court as other claim, both actions can be consolidated”
