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 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.
