Adkins overruled Christian’s request, noting that Christian claimed in her filing that she did not receive a copy of the lawsuit, but court records show that she was properly served on July 9, four days after the mortgage foreclosure action was filed.

Christian’s Oregon District restaurant operated for 15 years at 329 E. Fifth St. as Cafe Boulevard and Boulevard Haus before closing shortly after her conviction.
