Hukill v. Oklahoma Native American Domestic Violence Coalition

PORFILIO, Circuit Judge.

Defendants Pauline Musgrove and Oklahoma Native American Domestic Violence Coalition (d/b/a “Spirits of Hope”) appeal the district court’s denial of their motion to set aside a default judgment in favor of plaintiff Sheree L. Hukill. Because Ms. Hukill did not properly serve Ms. Mus-grove and Spirits of Hope, the district court did not have jurisdiction over them, and we conclude that it was required to set aside the default judgment. We therefore reverse and remand to the district court with directions to vacate the default judgment against these defendants.
