(TITLE) (CORPORATE DEFENDAN'1')
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 ofthe summons
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
return 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 of the summons retains all defenses and objections (except any relating to the summons or to the service of the summons), and may later
object to the jurisdiction ofthe court or to the place where the action has been brought.
A defendantwho waives servicemust within the time specified on thewaiver form serve on theplaintii`f’s attorney (or unrepresented plaintiff)
a response to the complaint and must also file a signed copy ofthe response with the court. If` the answer or motion is not served within this time,
a default j udgment 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.
