Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit August 22, 1986, 86-1028 (Stranahan Gear Company, Inc. v. Nl Industries, Inc. v. Blue Streak Industries, Inc. Appeal of Nl Industries, Inc)

OPINION OF THE COURT

ALDISERT, Chief Judge.

We must decide whether the district court erred in opening a default judgment against a third party defendant on the ground that the third party plaintiff had not complied with the requirements for service of process of Rule 4(c)(2)(C)(ii), F.R.Civ.P., because the third party defendant refused to acknowledge receipt of service.
