IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
RATLR LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.
Raymond EMC Enclosures Limited, et al.,
Defendants.
No. CV-25-02967-PHX-KML
ORDER
Plaintiff filed this suit on August 15, 2025. (Doc. 1.) On November 5, 2025, plaintiff
filed a notice stating “the defendants in this matter are both located outside the United
States” and the usual 90-day limit for service of process “does not apply to service in a
foreign country.” (Doc. 10 at 1.) Plaintiff is correct that the 90-day limit does not apply
when defendants are outside the United States. “However, this does not preclude the court
from setting a reasonable time limit for service in a foreign country to properly manage a
civil case.” Inst. of Cetacean Rsch. v. Sea Shepherd Conservation Soc’y, 153 F. Supp. 3d
1291, 1320 (W.D. Wash. 2015) (simplified). To manage its docket, the court sets February
5, 2026, as the deadline for service of defendants.
