Dutv to Avoid UnnecessarvCostsof Serviceof Summons
J J

Rule 4 of the FederalRulesof Civil Procedurerequirescertainpartiesto cooperatein saving

unnecessary costsof serviceof the summonsandcomplaint. A defendantlocatedinthe United
Stateswho, afterbeingnotified of an actionandaskedby a plaintiff locatedin the United Statesto
waiveserviceof summons,fails to do so will be requiredto bearthe costof suchserviceunless
good causebe shownfor its failure to sign and return the waiver.
It is not goodcausefor a failure to waive servicethata par:tybelievesthat the complaintis
unfounded,or that the actionhasbeenbroughtin an improperplaceor in a courtthat lacks
jurisdictionover the subjectmatterof the actionor over its personor property.A partywho waives
serviceof the summonsretainsall defensesandobjections(exceptany relatingto the summonsor
to the serviceof the summons),andmay later objectto thejurisdiction of the court or to the place
wherethe actionhasbeenbrought.
A defendantwho waivesservicemustwithin the time specifiedon the waiver form serveon
the plaintiff s attorney(or unrepresented plaintiff) a responseto the complaintandmust alsofile a
signedcopy of the responsewith the court.If the answeror motion is not servedwithin this time, a
defaultjudgmentmay be takenagainstthat defendant.By waiving service,a defendantis allowed
moretime to answerthan if the summonshadbeenactuallyservedwhen the requestfor waiver of
servicewasreceived.
