Knight v. District Court of Seventeenth Judicial District

North Valley State Bank, a Colorado banking corporation, brought an action on a promissory note in the district court of the Seventeenth Judicial District against James L. Knight and C. H. Spaulding. Knight and Spaulding were each thereafter personally served with a copy of the complaint and the summons in Salt Lake City, Utah. In response thereto, Knight and Spaulding then filed in the aforementioned district court a motion to dismiss the action on the ground that the court lacked jurisdiction over their person. After hearing, the trial court denied this motion to dismiss, and proceeded to order Knight and Spaulding to file an answer to the complaint.
