Summary

The court granted mandamus relief, directing the trial court to strike the plaintiff's sixth amended complaint and to quash service on, and dismiss the claims against, two defendants. The amendment was sought after the applicable deadline without good cause and would cause prejudice and undue delay, while service was ineffective and the defendants preserved their objections. The court also held that the service challenges were reviewable by mandamus under the specific circumstances presented.
