Description

We reverse an order denying Jodhi Valliappans motion to set aside a default judgment. There is no proof in the record that Cruz served Valliappan with process by registered or certified mail, as required by the substituted service provisions of section 48.161, Florida Statutes. Section 48.161 allows substituted service in this matter upon a non-resident or a person concealing his whereabouts, provided the plaintiff sends notice of service and a copy of the process by registered or certified mail to the defendant, files the return receipt, and files an affidavit stating compliance. Â§ 48.161, Fla. Stat. (2003).
