    They can issue a bench warrant for her.

    But I doubt it.

      As you might imagine, I have looked into these repercussions for ignoring summons in CA. My memory is that you basically get one for free, but the next time something bad may happen. By all means, do not take my word for it, but I would be surprised if there were meaningful repercussions for ignoring it this time. I suspect that ignoring those things is very common.

      Education is extremely important.

        “Summons? I never got a summons. “

        “We mailed it. “

        “Hmmm. I never got it. Do you have proof you mailed it…like a receipt or a signature?”

        “We don’t do that.”

        “Sorry. I can’t help you. I never got it. “

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Just have her get a drivers license or register to vote. Or put a utility in her name. However much hassle it might be it will be better than whatever repercussions.

          I suppose we could rent a car and have her test in Long Island. No way can she pass a driving test in the city. But then she might not be able to get an appointment in time.

          Or maybe she could ask a friend to put her name on a utility for a month. But then that wouldn't take effect until next month.

          Ok, we'll see.

            I will absolutely do that next time.

              I'm sorry, but I started coughing last night and now I'm running a fever.

              Should I come in?

                Doesn't seem like any plan that involves talking to a human being with some authority to do anything, is feasible. This is not surprising for anybody who's ever dealt with CA bureaucracy.

                  I could help her do a drivers test in Westchester. She could take the train up here (30min) and use my car.

                  Probably would still need proof of address for her to get a license. You can check the requirements online easily enough.

                  Only non-witches get due process.

                    That is weird. I do not understand why the jury system would not excuse her?

                    I had a US address, but was traveling. I received a jury notice, replied that I was going to be out of the country, etc. and no problem.

                    Maybe a "official" letter from the school indicating that she is a full time enrolled student at that school?

                    To me, it seems like a "no brainer" that the jury system should accept.

                        Jon thanks for the generous offer.

                        My daughter will pay a friend's electricity bill for the next 2 months. Let's hope that will do the trick.
