Re: judgment

He has to act quickly by filing a motion by Order to Show Cause to vacate the Judgment on the basis that he was never served with the summons and complaint.

It is easiest if you contact and retain an attorney to draft the papers. Sometimes a clerk will help by providing the necessary papers allowing you to file the motion yourself.
