AFFIRMED
#### John M. Delph *v.*John Finnel et al.

Contracts — Lease—Forfeiture—Non-Payment of Rent.

Where by the terms of a lease it is stipulated that the lessor may reenter, upon the failure to pay rent, the lessor may annul the contract and is entitled to the possession.

Written Contract — Loss of Improvements.

The lessee having failed to execute the written contract for the rent of the premises the lessor was entitled to recover the possession. But as such reéovery would involve the loss of the improvement the lessee may elect to execute the writing or submit to eviction.

September 30, 1867.

Opinion of the Court bn

Judge Hardin :

Although, by the terms of the lease to Finnell, the failure to pay the stipulated rent of the 22 feet of ground within 30 days after any installment should be due, the appellant was entitled to *92re-enter the premises, and annul the lease, yet, as the' petition does not seem to seek a forfeiture on that ground, but on the ground of an alleged failure of the appellant to execute and perform the new contract, for the leasing of the same ground enlarged by the adjoining 20 feet of ground, it seems to us the court did not err in refusing to annul the lease.

*Harrison &*Bennett, *for appellants.*

*' H.*Pope, *for appellees.*

We are of the opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to recover of the appellee, Kehol, a rent of sixty dollars per annum for the use and occupation of said adjoining ground of 20 feet front, the averments of the.petition being deemed sufficient for that object, and it appearing from the evidence of O’Neal and Dunn that, although Kehol did not execute the written lease, signed by the appellant, he did agree with him to rent the ground, and his subtenant erected a kitchen on it, which became part of the premises rented by the appellee’s agent to Dunn.

There being no written contract for the rent of the 20 feet of ground executed by the appellee Kehol, the plaintiff was also entitled to recover the possession of it„ unless the said appellee would execute the lease in writing. But as such a recovery would involve the loss of improvements, it seems to us, for this and other reasons, that Kehol should be allowed, on the return of the cause, to elect whether he will execute the written contract, or submit to a judgment of eviction as to the 20 foot lot.

Wherefore, the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Civil Action No. CV-17-04308-PHX-DGC

WAIVER OF THE SERVICE OF SUMMONS

To: Marc J Bern & Partners LLP

(Name of plaintiff’s attorney or unrepresented plaintiff)

I have received your request to waive service of a summons in this action along with a copy of the complaint, two 

copies of this waiver form, and a prepaid means of returning one signed copy of the form to you.

I, or the entity I represent, agree to save the expense of serving a summons and complaint in this case.

I understand that I, or the entity I represent, will keep all defenses or objections to the lawsuit, the court’s 

jurisdiction, and the venue of the action, but that I waive any objections to the absence of a summons or of service.

I also understand that I, or the entity I represent, must file and serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 within 

60 days from 11/28/2017, the date when this request was sent (or 90 days if it was sent outside the United States). If I fail 

to do so, a default judgment will be entered against me or the entity I represent.

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. 

Case 2:15-md-02641-DGC Document 9267 Filed 12/11/17 Page 1 of 2
2

“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 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.
