Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons
Rule 4 ofthe Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving umiecessary expenses of serving a summons
and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to retum a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff located in
the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure.
"Good cause" does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has
no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendant’s property.
lf the waiver is signed and retumed, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of
a summons or of service.
lf you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the plaintiff
and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been served.
