    3. A review of the court file shows that service of process was purportedlymade upon the Defendant by individual service at Defendant's address of 4401 25thAvenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33713. A copy of the Return of Service is attachedhereto as Exhibit "C".

    4. As stated In Defendant's Affidavit attached hereto as Exhibit "A",Defendant was never served with any summons or complaint at any time or anyplacerelative to this lawsuit.

    5. Defendant lived at the purported service address during March of 2009, as

    this is her homesteaded and primary residence, but she was never served with any legaldocuments while residing at that address, and has never been served with the summonsand complaint in this matter as claimed in the purported Affidavit of Service. SeeAffidavit of Defendant attached as Exhibit "A".
