Opinion:
If applicant is correct in his assertion that he was never served with process, any resulting judgment is an absolute nullity under La. Code Civ. P. art. 2002. As the court explained in Nunez v. Superior Hosp. Sys., Inc. , 14-668 (La. App. 5 Cir. 12/23/14), 166 So.3d 1004, 1008, such a nullity can be asserted at any time.
