In S.F., Scott Ostler reported a process server for city of San Jose attorney Joe Cotchett on Wednesday showed up in the “lobby of Selig’s office building
on Park Avenue in Manhattan.” MLB “refused to send anyone down from Selig’s 31st-floor office to meet and greet the server, and they also refused to permit the server to come up to the 31st.” After some “back-and-forth, an attorney at Cotchett’s firm e-mailed an attorney for Selig.” The e-mail read in part, “Because you will not accept service, we will instruct our process servers to effect personal service on the Commissioner immediately.” Selig’s attorneys on Friday morning decided “to be served with the papers that require Selig to appear in court within 60 days to file a document stating why, in Selig’s opinion, San Jose’s lawsuit has no merit.” Had Selig and his lawyers “continued to play hide-and-seek, Cotchett was planning to send his process server to Selig’s residence”
