Meyers Sues Salazar for Breach of Contract, the Action Being

question 6

True/False

Meyers sues Salazar for breach of contract, the action being filed in federal court. Salazar was served with a copy of the summons and complaint on March 1 and immediately took the documents to an attorney. The attorney gave the documents to a paralegal working in the firm with directions to prepare and file a responsive pleading. The paralegal was extremely busy and calendared the case to be sure that an answer was filed in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the paralegal entered the notation on the May calendar rather than the March calendar. As a result, no answer was filed within the appropriate time limit, and the plaintiff entered Salazar's default.
-If Salazar's attorney makes a motion to set aside the default, the moving papers should be personally served on Meyers.
