Gabriela Saavedra-Sandoval, Appellant v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The court held that NRCP 4(i), as amended in 2004, requires a party seeking additional time to serve process to first show good cause for filing an untimely motion to enlarge the service period. Only after that threshold showing may the court conduct the complete good-cause analysis for extending service time. Because Saavedra-Sandoval did not establish good cause for waiting more than a year to seek an extension, the court affirmed dismissal for untimely service. No separate opinions were filed.
