Who May Serve and How: HRCP Rule 4 in Waipio Acres
In the First Circuit, the first step under Rule 4(d)(1) is to look for the individual and deliver the summons and complaint in person. The second step, if the person is not found, is to leave them at the dwelling house or usual place of abode with a person of suitable age and discretion who lives there. The third is to hand them to an agent authorized by appointment or law. A guard or a neighbor does not count. Rule 4(d)(3) covers businesses through an officer, a managing or general agent, or another authorized agent.
Then comes Rule 4(g): proof of service to the court, promptly and within the time to respond. Rule 12(a)(1) generally allows 20 days after service for an answer, except where a statute or court order sets a different time. Nothing in the Rule 4 language we verified gives a date by which service has to be finished.
