Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Costs of Service of Summons
Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain parties to cooperate in saving unnecessary costs of service of the stunmons and complaint. A
defendant located in the United States who, after being notified of an action and asked by a plaintiff located in the United States to waive service of summons, fails to
do so will be required to bear the cost of such service unless good cause be shown for its failure to sign and retum the waiver.
It is not good cause for a failure to waive service that a party believes that the complaint is unfounded, or that the action has been brought in an improper place
or in a court that lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter ofthe action or over its person or property. A party who waives service ofthe summons retains all defenses .
and objections (except any relating to the summons or to the service ofthe summons), and may later object to the jurisdiction ofthe court or to the place where the action
has been brought.
A defendant who waives service must within the time specified on the waiver form serve on the plaintiffs attomey (or unrepresented plaintiff) a response to the
complaint and must also tile a signed copy of the response with the court. If the answer or motion is not served within this time, a default judgment may be taken against
that defendant. By waiving service, a defendant is allowed more time to answer than if the summons had been actually served when the request for waiver of service
was received.
