A. John is not a resident of Washington State. In June of 2009, John was using his parent's vacation home in Washington State and was involved in a vehicle accident with local resident Stacey. Stacey's car was damaged and she was out of work for an extensive period of time. Stacey is seeking over $120,000 in damages. Stacey filed her action in King County District Court Court. More than 100 days later, Stacey had John served. At the time service was attempted, John's neighbor was housesitting and appeared less than sober when he answered the door.
When John filed his response, he made a counter claim for $15,000 and sought to remove the case to federal court. John is raising a defense that is recognized under Idaho law, which his state of residence. Stacey's cousin, outraged about the accident, is also bringing a suit against John. (Assume the Statute of Limitations is three years from the date of incident.)
