UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF IDAHO Form 1B. Waiver of Service of Summons TO: (name of plaintiffs attorney or unrepresented plaintiff) I acknowledge receipt of your request that I waive service of a summons in the action of , (caption of action) which is case number in the United States District (docket number) Court for the District of Idaho. I have also received a copy of the complaint i n the action, two copies of thisinstrument, and a means by which I can return the signed waiver to you w ithout a cost to me. I agree to save the cost of service of a summons and an additional copy of the comp laint in this lawsuit bynot requiring that I (or the entity on whose behalf I am acting) be se rved with judicial process in the manner providedby Rule 4. I (or the entity on whose behalf I am acting) will retain all defenses or objections to the lawsuit or to thejurisdiction or venue of the court except for objections based on a defect in the su mmons or in the service of thesummons. I understand that a judgment may be entered against me (or the party on who se behalf I am acting) if ananswer or motion under Rule 12 is not served upon you within 60 days after __________________________________, or within 90 days after that date (date request was sent) if the request was sent outside the United States. _____________________ _____________________________ (Date) (Signature) _____________________________ (Printed/Typed Name) [as______________________________________] [of______________________________________]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 servi ce of the summons and complaint.A defendant who, after being notified of an action and asked to waive service of a summons, fails to do so will be required to bear the cost of such service unless goodcause 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 a ction has been brought in an improperplace or in a court that lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action or o ver its person or property. A party who waives service of the summons re tainsall defenses and objections (except any relating to the summons or to the service of the summons), and may later object to the jurisdiction of the court or to the placewhere the action has been brought. A defendant who waives service must within the time specified of the waiver form serve on the plaintiffs attorney (or unrepresented plaintiff) a responseto the complaint and must also file a signed copy of the response with the court. If the answer or moti on is not served within this time, a default judgment may betaken against the defendant. By waiving service, a defendant is allowed more time to answer than if the summons has been actually served when the request for waiverof service was received. Defendant can respond by signing and returning waiver (Form 1B) or defendant may fail to retu rn waiver within the time allowed.If waiver is not used, the plaintiff must serve process as stated in the rule but may recover costs from defendant.
