WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Beth Culver v. Adilakshmi Kaza, et al.,
Case No.: 2020AP309
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Gundrum and Davis, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Service of Process
Dr. Adilakshmi Kaza appeals from an order denying her motion to dismiss Beth Culver’s medical malpractice complaint. Kaza argues that the circuit court erred in ruling, in part based on a process server’s affidavit of service, that Culver exercised reasonable diligence in attempting personal service on Kaza and that the substitute service of leaving the summons and complaint with the security guard at Kaza’s gated community was sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over Kaza. We agree with the court’s conclusions and, accordingly, we affirm.
