(a) General Limitation. The time limit of Civil Rule 4(i) does not apply to FASTAR cases. Instead, a plaintiff must serve the summons and complaint on every defendant within 60 days after the filing date of the complaint.

(b) Dismissal of an Unserved Defendant. If the plaintiff does not complete service within 60 days after filing the complaint, the court will notify the plaintiff that it will dismiss the action without prejudice as to any unserved defendant 15 days after the date of the court's notice, and without further notice, unless the plaintiff completes service within those 15 days.

(c) Extension. Within 60 days after filing the complaint, the plaintiff may request, and the court may extend the time for completing service, but the court may not extend the time limit for service more than 90 days after the filing date of the complaint.

(d) Dismissal of a Timely-Served Defendant. The court will dismiss without prejudice any timely-served defendant who did not file an answer or other response within 120 days after the filing date of the complaint, unless the plaintiff has filed a Rule 55 application for the entry of default of that defendant before the 120th day. The court will provide the plaintiff at least 20 days' notice before dismissing that defendant in a multi-defendant case, or before dismissing a case that has only one defendant.
