Case 6:15-cv-02104-TC Document 4 Filed 11/25/15 Page 1 of 3
Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in

saving unnecessary expenses of serving a summons and complaint. A defendant who is located

in the United States and who fails to return 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.

If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and

objections, but you cannot object to the absence of a summons or of service.

If you waive service, then you must, within the time specif,red on the waiver form, serve

an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the plaintiff and fìle 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.
