Attorney's Assertion Insufficient to Vacate Judgment: Case Study

In the case Cypress Financial Recoveries LLC v. Michael D. Morris, decided on April 9, 2018, a default judgment against the defendant was challenged for allegations of improper service. However, the court denied the motion to vacate the judgment as the defendant's lawyer, rather than the defendant himself, had signed the documents contesting the service, which the court deemed insufficient to challenge the prima facie evidence of proper service.

Key takeaways:

1. An attorney's affirmation without personal knowledge has no probative value, and therefore, cannot support any motion for dispositive relief. In this case, the defendant's attorney, rather than the defendant himself, signed the documents contesting the service, which was deemed insufficient.
2. The interposition of the defense of improper service of process in a verified attorney's answer is legally insufficient to require a hearing as a matter of law. This supports the court's decision to deny the motion to vacate the judgment.
3. For a motion to vacate a judgment to succeed, the defendant must submit a sworn denial of receipt of service containing specific facts to refute the statements of the process server. In this case, the defendant failed to submit such an affidavit, leading to the denial of the motion to vacate the judgment.
