October 20, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 19 PAPERLESS ORDER directing clerk to enter default as to Nisbany S. Garcias. The record indicates that this case was removed on September 9, 2020, see Notice of Removal [ECF No. 1], and Defendant Garcias was served with the summons issued by the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida on September 17, 2020, see Verified Return of Service [ECF No. 18-1] at 1. Although service of the state court summons occurred after removal, that summons was issued by the state court on August 11, 2020. Id. at 4. As we have previously stated, "28 U.S.C. 1448 allows for service of process pursuant to state law if issued prior to removal." Oliva v.

Dept of Corr., No. 1:15cv17-MW/GRJ, 2015 WL 12911715, at *1 (N.D. Fla. Dec. 7, 2015) ("[T]he correct reading of the statute is that it allows for process issued prior to removal to be completed after removal."). Thus, Defendant Garcias was properly served on September 17, 2020 and therefore has failed to respond to the Complaint or otherwise serve on Plaintiff any paper within the time allotted by law under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Signed by Judge Rodolfo A. Ruiz, II on 10/20/2020. (kbm)
