Daniel Roper v. Pamela J. Dailey

SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA 1980.LA.608 September 3, 1980, Original Date DECISION OF THE COURT DELIVERED BY THE HONORABLE JUDGE DENNIS In this review of an action
to annul a judgment we are called upon to decide whether the plaintiff, Dennis Roper, bore his burden of proving lack of service
of process by the clear and convincing evidence needed to rebut the presumption of validity attached to a serving officer's
return. We conclude that plaintiff did not carry his burden of proof and affirm the court of appeal and trial court decisions
rejecting his action of nullity.
