Not quite.
If you were served in Ca. for a lawsuit filed against you in Me. (which I doubt, as the Me. Court would catch the error) all you would need to do is answer the Me. Court with a request for a change of venue to Ca. as you are not a Me. resident and therefore venue in the Me. Court is not permitted as the Me Court has no jurisdicton over a Ca. resident.

In the case of someone NOT serving you in Ca. and gettng a default judgment against you in Me.and then trying to domesticate it in Ca.-- all you would need to do is file an answer that it was obtained fraudulently, ( your proof would be lack of service at your Ca residence, which they KNEW as they wish to domesticate the default judgment in Ca.)
