Zeigler v. Hambrick

Ellington, Judge.

Althea Zeigler appeals the order dismissing her personal injury action against Nicole Hambrick. The State Court of DeKalb County concluded Zeigler failed to exercise due diligence in serving Ham-brick and granted Hambrick’s motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary judgment. Zeigler appeals, contending the trial judge applied the incorrect standard when evaluating whether service was timely. Zeigler also contends the trial court erred in concluding she failed to act diligently in serving Hambrick 21 days after filing the renewal action. Finding no error, we affirm.
