How have courts dealt with a motion of motion to quash an action for personal injury?

This is quite like the situation which obtained in Armstrong v. Superior Court, 144 Cal.App.2d 420, 301 P.2d 51, described by the reviewing court as follows: 'A reading of the [147 Cal.App.2d 210] notice of motion to quash makes it apparent that the only relief sought by petitioner was to quash service of summons upon him upon the grounds that the court had not thereby acquired jurisdiction of his person. The fact that he attempted to demonstrate that the court did not have jurisdiction of his person because he was not a party to the action by citing authorities which he mistakenly believed supported his contention did not change his appearance from a special one to a general one.' 144 Cal.App.2d 423, 301 P.2d at page 53.
