Discovery is where bogus litigation goes to die. Mueller played himself. There is probably some type of fast track system in the particular court in which Mueller filed. That would mean he had a specified number of days to effect service of process after filing.
The idea is to keep cases moving and not let the system get choked. And to discourage bs filings.
Would be delightful to see Mueller smacked with sanctions right out of the gate.
The limit on service of process in Virginia is 10 days before the court date. The statute doesn’t specify if it’s 10 business days.
