The affidavit of plaintiff's process server demonstrates, prima facie, that service was properly made on defendant, pursuant to CPLR 308(2), by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint with a person of suitable age and discretion at defendant's residence and then mailing a copy to defendant at the same address. Nelson's mere denial of receipt of service is insufficient to rebut the presumption of proper service created by the properly executed affidavit of service.
