JUDGE COFFEY
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.

JUDGE COFFEY
MINUTE ENTRY
The Court has considered Plaintiff’s Rule 4(i) Renewed Motion for Extension of Service
Deadline. In an Order dated June 18, 2024, the Court previously extended the deadline for
completing service until September 9, 2024. There is no evidence in Plaintiff’s filing showing that
it has taken any steps to serve Defendant since then. Because Plaintiff has not taken any steps to
complete service in the last three months and Plaintiff failed to timely serve Defendant,
IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s Rule 4(i) Renewed Motion for Extension of Service
Deadline and dismissing this case for failure to prosecute.
