Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
Hello. I am a pro-se litigant for a civil case.
Here's the skinny:
* I filed a motion to amend the complaint, and served the document via certified mail.
* The defendant's attorney responded to the motion by filing with the court 33 days after I put the items in the mail.
* The certificate of service from the defendant's attorney said he had served me 32 days after I put the items in the mail, however, the motion he sent to ME was postmarked *37* days after I put the motions in the mail.
So my question is: are there some sort of grounds for me to win the motion by default since I was not served in a timely manner? Or is his response valid because he filed with the court in time?
I appreciate your help! Thank you!
