Before proceeding, ensure you have... View More

I’m not complete sure what your question is. Generally a court does not consider evidence on a motion to dismiss but rather the sufficiency of the complaint itself.

I thought I had to be served in person? Nothing was attached to my door. Both the summons and copy were sent by mail. How long do I have to respond?
