Question:

Walter Martin brought an employment discrimination suit against the New York Department of Mental Hygiene and Dr. Stuart Keill, a regional director of the department. Although Dr. Keill knew of the lawsuit and the nature of the claim, he was not served with a copy of the complaint and a summons. Could Martin pursue the case against Dr. Keill without such service?
