Stypas v. Stypas
Stypas v. Stypas
173 A.2d 218; 1961 D.C. App. LEXIS 311
(Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)
Stypas v. Stypas
Opinion of the Court
Appellant brought this action for the annulment of her marriage to appellee or in the alternative for an absolute divorce on the grounds of desertion. A copy of the complaint was mailed to appellee at his temporary residence in Greece. In reply, he sent a letter to the court denying the various-allegations of the complaint. The court refused to accept this letter as a formal appearance. This is the alleged error. However, an examination of the trial court’s file reveals that upon appellee’s return to-this country, an alias summons was issued and he was personally served on July 11, 1961. We therefore hold that the question is now moot.
Appeal dismissed.
