She’s being summoned from the dead.
Jury-duty notices keep coming for Elizabeth H. Mendoza — a Bronx woman who would be 104 years old if she hadn’t died almost a decade ago.
“I write a message on the envelope: ‘Get it together. You should know that she’s not around. Take her off the registry,’ ” one of Mendoza’s former caretakers, Adrian Guerra Sr., told The Post. “But it keeps coming. They won’t stop.”
The latest notice mailed to Mendoza was postmarked April 1 and contained a juror questionnaire, a spokeswoman for the courts said.
While the Department of Health sends death records to city agencies, sometimes individuals slip through the cracks.
In those cases, the deceased get off jury duty when a relative notifies the court and provides supporting documents proving death, the spokeswoman said. Otherwise, jury questionnaires left unanswered keep coming.
Jury-duty summonses are generated from lists that come from the Board of Elections and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Board of Elections spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez said their data was “not the most current and up to date.”
