Looks like Zaman got a real attorney. Super cute filing on 15 December with an affidavit from Zaman saying, shame on United and Orbitz for serving legal papers to his elderly non-English-speaking mom's place in NYC.
As of the time of this filing, the summons and complaint in this action have not been served on defendant Aktarer Zaman in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4. Rather, the summons and complaint were left with Mr. Zaman’s mother at her residence. As Mr. Zaman does not reside at that location, and he has not otherwise been served, service should be quashed and the plaintiffs should be required to serve Mr. Zaman in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4.
