New York Court of Appeals
Frank Muslusky, Appellant v. Lehigh Valley Coal Company, Respondent
February 25, 1919225 N.Y. 584
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that a demand for a copy of the complaint is not a general or special appearance, and that a defendant who makes a special appearance solely to contest jurisdiction cannot move to dismiss the complaint for failure to serve under §480. Accordingly, the lower court's dismissal was reversed.
