Opinion
Argued December 23, 1981 —
Decided January 11, 1982.
On appeal from the Superior Court, Law Division, Cumberland County, 117 N.J. Super. 131.
Before Judges MICHELS, McELROY and J.H. COLEMAN.
Harry A. Adler argued the cause for appellants.
Lawrence W. Point argued the cause for respondent ( Action Point, attorneys).
Defendants appeal an order granting summary judgment to plaintiff, a lumber dealer who filed and served a mechanic's and materialman's lien with respect to materials supplied to a building owned by defendants Hubschmidt. Service of the lien was made by ordinary mail and was admittedly received by those defendants within five days of the date the notice of intention was filed in the county clerk's office. The issue framed below and here is whether this constitutes valid service within the spirit and intent of N.J.S.A. 2A:44-71.
We affirm the entry of summary judgment for plaintiff substantially for the reasons stated in the opinion of Judge Edward S. Miller, reported at 177 N.J. Super. 131 (Law Div. 1980).
Affirmed.
