New York Court of Appeals

Jordan Engel, an Infant, by Sharon Engel, his Mother and Natural Guardian v. Jacob J. Lighterman

June 29, 198462 N.Y.2d 943

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant. The court held that a properly executed affidavit of service creates a presumption that service by mail was completed, and the plaintiffs offered no factual dispute to overcome that presumption.
