JUDGE MCDOWELL
MINUTE ENTRY
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's August 27, 2025 Motion for an Order Allowing Alternative
Service. The Motion does not indicate efforts have been made to contact Defendants by mail,
telephone, email, or social media to determine whether they would accept service or whether a
time and location could be arranged for service. Alternative service is authorized under Rule 4.1(k)
if the moving party shows that service under Rule 4.1(c) through (f) are impracticable. Plaintiff
has not demonstrated that.
Whether traditional service is “impractical,” defined as “extremely difficult or inconvenient” is a
fact specific inquiry. See Blair v. Burgener, 226 Ariz. 213 (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. While Plaintiff makes a conclusory statement that Defendant is
avoiding service, no fact set forth in the Motion support that claim. Plaintiff must demonstrate

some efforts to reach Defendants by email, mail, telephone, or social media to determine whether
service will be accepted or whether a time can be arranged for service before the Court will
authorize alternative service.
IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff's August 27, 2025 Motion for an Order Allowing Alternative
Service.
