Gore v. Ark. Teachers Fed. Credit Union

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided March 14, 2019No. CV-17-1055PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Opinion of the CourtJohn Dan Kemp, Chief Justice

Appellant Ryan Gore appeals the denial of his motion to dismiss and the grant of a default judgment in favor of appellee Arkansas Teachers Federal Credit Union (ATFCU).1 Gore contends that the circuit court lacked personal jurisdiction over him because he was not timely served with a complaint and summons. Accordingly, he contends that the default judgment against him is void and must be set aside as a matter of law. ATFCU declined to file a brief in response. We hold that the circuit court did not err in granting default judgment.
