Family members of a deceased individual properly filed an action for money damages in federal court against a funeral home for negligent infliction of emotional distress based on the alleged mishandling of the remains of the deceased. The funeral home timely and properly served an answer to the complaint. Thirty days later, including eight weekend days, the family members served a demand for a jury trial on the funeral home. The demand was served on a holiday. On the following day, a non-holiday weekday, the family members filed the jury trial demand with the court.

Was the family members' demand for a jury trial timely?

Answer:

The family members' demand for a jury trial was not timely because the request for trial exceeded the 14-day deadline for the funeral home.

Explanation:

The request for jury judgment must be filed within 14 days after notification of the last challenge has been issued. In the case presented in the question above, this deadline was not respected, as the demand was made 14 days after the funeral parlor's response was delivered. In this case, the demand for a trial with a jury was not opportune.
