No. 1)) A copy of the Summons and Petition was served on Respondent Tiger Contracting Corporation on August 2, 2021 via the Secretary of State, and proof of service was filed with the Clerk of Court on August 9, 2021. (Dkt. No. 7) Respondent did not appear, answer, or otherwise move with respect to the Petition within the time allowed by law.
