JUDGE MCDOWELL
RULING ON MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Blanca Condo Association’s January 27, 2026 Motion for
Summary Judgment. The Court has not received a Response from Defendant. The time for filing a
response has elapsed
The party moving for summary judgment must produce evidence that it believes demonstrates the
absence of a genuine issue of material fact and must explain why summary judgment is warranted.
Nat'l Bank of Ariz. v. Thruston, 218 Ariz. 112, 115 (App. 2008). If the moving party meets its
burden, the burden shifts to the nonmoving party to present sufficient evidence demonstrating the
existence of a disputed fact. Thruston, 218 Ariz. at 119. The nonmoving party cannot then rest on
its pleadings, but must call to the court's attention evidence to explain why the motion should be
denied. Id. “If the party with the burden of proof on the claim or defense cannot respond to the
motion by showing that there is evidence creating a genuine issue of fact on the element in

question, then the motion for summary judgment should be granted.” Orme Sch. v. Reeves, 166
Ariz. 301, 310 (1990).
Plaintiff’s Motion includes evidence demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material fact
and explains why summary judgment should be granted. Defendant submitted no response, so she
did not call to the Court’s attention any evidence nor did she present sufficient evidence
demonstrating the existence of material fact.
IT IS ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
IT IS ORDERED counsel for Plaintiff shall submit a proposed form of order containing Rule
54(c) language consistent with this Ruling no later than April 17, 2026. If a request for attorney
fees or costs is sought, a motion and supporting affidavit shall be filed no later than April 17, 2026.

MINUTE ENTRY
Plaintiff has requested service by alternative means pursuant to Rule 4.1 of the Arizona
Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 4.1 (k) provides as follows:
Alternative Means of Service.
(1) Generally.
If a party shows that the means of service provided in Rule 4.1(c) through Rule 4.1(j) are
impracticable, the court may--on motion and without notice to the person to be served--
order that service may be accomplished in another manner.
(2) Notice and Mailing. If the court allows an alternative means of service, the serving
party must make a reasonable effort to provide the person being served with actual notice
of the action's commencement. In any event, the serving party must mail the summons, the

pleading being served, and any court order authorizing an alternative means of service to
the last-known business or residential address of the person being served.
(3) Service by Publication. A party may serve by publication only if the requirements of
Rule 4.1(l), 4.1(m), 4.2(f), or 4.2(g) are met and the procedures provided in those rules are
followed.
Whether traditional service is “impractical,” defined as “extremely difficult or
inconvenient” is a fact specific inquiry. See Blair v. Burgener, 226 Ariz. 213, 245 P.3d 898 (App.
2010). Plaintiff has not demonstrated that service is impractical in this case. Only a few attempts
to serve Defendant were made over a short period of time. Plaintiff must demonstrate multiple
unsuccessful attempts at varying times and proof that a skip trace has been performed before the
Court will authorize alternative service. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s request for service by alternative means, without
prejudice to Plaintiff filing a renewed motion if further efforts at personal service are unsuccessful.
