ReMine ex rel. Liley v. District Court for the City & County of Denver

LOHR, Justice.

In this original proceeding, we issued a rule to show cause directing the respondent district court1 to demonstrate why it did *1380not err in rejecting the challenges raised by Leeman Lee Liley, a defendant in a personal injury action, to the court’s jurisdiction over his person. We conclude that the purported service of process upon Liley by publication pursuant to court order was legally ineffective because, under the facts of this case, such service was not authorized by statute or court rule. Consequently, we make the rule absolute.
