IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, CASE NO. 2008 CA 006596XXXX MB DEFENDANT SARAH KELLEN's MOTION TO QUASH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND SET ASIDE CLERK'S DEFAULT Defendant Sarah Kellen, pursuant to Rules 1.500(d) and 1.140(b)(5) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, moves the Court, first, to quash service of process, and second, to set aside the clerk's default entered against her on June 6, and as grounds for this relief respectfully states as - follows: Introduction The attempt at substituted service on Ms. Kellen did not comply with Florida procedure, and must therefore be quashed. This Court, on grounds of insufficient service of process, does not have jurisdiction to enter a default. Discussion A. The attempt at substituted service of process was ineffective. 216ot 316 EFTA00234155

Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM
Document 1-3
Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008
Page 49 of 116
Sarah Kellen is a resident of New York. In an effort to effect substituted service on Ms.
Kellen, a process server left copies of the pertinent summons and complaint with a nonresident
doorkeeper who works at 301 East 66th Street in New York, a multiunit apartment building where
Ms. Kellen maintains a personal residence. This attempt at substituted service did not comply with
Florida procedure.
To serve someone in New York in the context of a Florida lawsuit, an "officer authorized to
serve process in [New York]" is required, under section 48.194, Florida Statutes, to effect service
"in the same manner as service within [Florida]." § 48.194(1), Fla. Stat. (2007). To say it another
way, service must conform to Florida procedure—not New York procedure.
Under Florida law, service of process can be effected "by leaving the copies [of the summons
and complaint] at [the defendant's] usual place of abode with any person residing therein who is 15
years of age or older and informing the person of their contents." § 48.031(1)(a), Fla. Stat. (2007)
(emphasis added). It is well settled that "[s]tatutes governing service of process should be strictly
construed." E.g., York Commc'ns, Inc. v. Furst Group, Inc., 724 So.2d 678, 679 (Fla. 4th DCA
:999).
In construing section 48.194(1)(a), it is clear that the above doorkeeper was not a "person
residing" in Ms. Kellen's "usual place of abode" for purposes of effecting service. See Schupak v.
Sutton Hill Assocs., 710 So. 2d 707, 709 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) ("A fortiori, leaving process with an
apartment doorman in the apartment lobby is insufficient service."); accord Smith v. FDIC, 711 So.
2d 1367, 1368 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (per curiam) (holding that service of process was ineffective
where summons and complaint were left with a doorkeeper at the defendant's New York City
apartment building).

B.
This Court has not yet acquired personal jurisdiction over Ms. Kellen.
Because there has been no effective service of process, as set forth above, this Court has not
yet acquired personal jurisdiction over Sarah Kellen. See Shurman v. Atlantic Mortgage & Inv.
Corp., 795 So. 2d 952, 953 (Fla. 2001) ("It is well settled that the fundamental purpose of service
[of process] is 'to give proper notice to the defendant in the case that he is answerable to the claim
of plainti ff and, therefore, to vestjurisdiction in the court entertaining the controversy.") (quoting
State a rel. Merritt v. Heffernan, 195 So. 145, 147 (Fla. 1940)) (emphasis added). Cf. Borden v.
East-European Ins. Co., 921 So. 2d 587, 591 (Fla. 2006) (stating that service of process is "necessary
before a defendant . . . may be compelled to answer a claim brought in a court of law"); see also
Space Coast Credit Union v. The First, F.A., 467 So. 2d 737, 739 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985) (observing
that "[i)f the court fails to acquire jurisdiction over the defendant in the proper manner, its judgment
is void") (citations omitted) (emphasis added).
For these reasons above, the purported service of process must be quashed, and the clerk's
default must be set aside as void.
WHEREFORE, Sarah Kellen respectfully requests an Order quashing the purported service
of process, and setting aside the clerk's default entered against her on June 6.
