AC46961 - Jackson v. Prince (“The self-represented plaintiff, Nicole C. Jackson, appeals from the judgment of the trial court dismissing her action against the defendants, Joshua Prince (Joshua), Melinda Prince (Melinda), Amy Zabetakis, and John B. Devine. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court erred in (1) concluding that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Joshua and Melinda on the basis of insufficiency of process and insufficient service of process, (2) failing to hold an evidentiary hearing prior to dismissing the action as to Joshua and Melinda, and (3) concluding that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Zabetakis and Devine on the basis of insufficient service of process. We conclude that the court erred in concluding that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Melinda and in failing to hold an evidentiary hearing prior to dismissing the action as to Joshua. We also conclude that the court properly dismissed the action as to Devine and Zabetakis. Accordingly, we reverse in part and affirm in part the judgment of the trial court.”)
