RyanEX Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't know anything about proceedure in NY, or the differences in how to respond to a suit. I do know, in CA, people here would encourage a defendant to send out a BOP first (asap), then file the answer to the summons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
