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

CV 2023-012659

Form V000A

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. According to the Certificate of Non-Service, the process
server made six attempts over a relatively short period of time (8/25 – 9/7) to serve
the defendant. Plaintiff must demonstrate more attempts over a longer period to
locate and serve this party.
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.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the time period for service shall be
extended for an additional period of 60 days from the date of this order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED setting the deadline for completing service is
now February 2, 2024. If the time for completing service has not been extended
by the Court and no defendants have been served by this date, the case will be
dismissed.
