Moroney v. Young

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that when a plaintiff timely moves under NRCP 4(e)(3) to extend the service period, the district court must assess the service-related good-cause factors bearing on the plaintiff's diligence and circumstances beyond the plaintiff's control. The court affirmed dismissal because the plaintiff made only one delayed service attempt, failed to establish that the defendant evaded service, and did not timely serve the defendant. The court also noted that the statute of limitations is not a relevant factor for a timely extension motion.
