failure to do so judgment by default will be rendered against him for the
relief demanded in the complaint. When service of the summons is made by
publication, the summons shall, in addition to any special statutory requirements,
also contain a brief statement of the object of the action substantially
as follows: "This action is brought to recover a judgment dissolving the

eighteen years of age. |
| (d) |
|
|
|
Summons: Personal Service. The summons

as follows: |
| |
(1) |
|
|
If the suit is against a corporation formed under the laws of this state;
to the president or other head of the corporation, secretary, cashier,
managing agent, or resident agent thereof; provided, when for any reason
service cannot be had in the manner hereinabove provided, then service may
be made upon such corporation by delivering to the secretary of state, or
his deputy, a copy of said summons attached to a copy of the complaint,
and by posting a copy of said process in the office of the clerk of the
court in which such action is brought or pending; defendant shall have twenty
(20) days after such service and posting in which to appear and answer;
provided, however, that before such service shall be authorized, plaintiff
shall make or cause to be made and filed in such cause an affidavit setting
forth the facts showing that personal service on or notice to the officers,
managing agent or resident agent of said corporation cannot be had within
the state; and provided further, that if it shall appear from such affidavit
that there is a last known address of a known officer of said corporation
outside the state, plaintiff shall, in addition to and after such service
upon the secretary of state and posting, mail or cause to be mailed to such
known officer at such address by registered mail, a copy of the summons
and a copy of the complaint, and in all such cases defendant shall have
twenty (20) days from the date of such mailing within which to answer or
plead. |
| |
(2) |
|
|
If the suit is against a foreign corporation, or a nonresident partnership,
joint-stock company or association, doing business and having a managing
or business agent, cashier, or secretary within this state; to such agent,
cashier, or secretary or to an agent designated for service of process as
required by law; or in the event no such agent is designated, to the
secretary of state or the deputy secretary of state, as provided by law.
|
| |
(3) |
|
|
If against a minor, under the age of fourteen
years, residing within this state, to such minor, personally, and also to
his father, mother, or guardian; or if there be none within this state;
then to any person having the care or control of such minor, or with whom
he resides, or in whose service he is employed. |
| |
(4) |
|
|
If against a person residing within this
state who has been judicially declared to be of unsound mind, or incapable
of conducting his own affairs, and for whom a guardian has been appointed,
to such person and also to his guardian. |
| |
(5) |
|
|
If against a county, city, or town, to the
chairman of the board of commissioners, president of the council or trustees,
mayor of the city, or other head of the legislative department thereof.
|
| |
(6) |
|
|
In all other cases to the defendant personally, or by leaving copies thereof
at his dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable
age and discretion then residing therein, or by delivering a copy of
the summons and complaint to an agent authorized by appointment or by law
to receive service of process. |
| (e) |
|
|
|
Same: Other service. |
| |
(1) |
|
|
Service by Publication. |
| |
|
(i) |
|
General. When the person on whom service
is to be made resides out of the state, or has departed from the state,
or cannot, after due diligence, be found within the state, or conceals himself
to avoid the service of summons, and the fact shall appear, by affidavit,
to the satisfaction of the court or judge thereof, and it shall appear,
either by affidavit or by a verified complaint on file, that a cause of
action exists against the defendant in respect to whom the service is to
be made, and that he is a necessary or proper party to the action, such
court or judge may grant an order that the service be made by the publication
of summons. Provided, when said affidavit is based on the fact that the
party on whom service is to be made resides out of the state, and the present
address of the party is unknown, it shall be a sufficient showing of such
fact if the affiant shall state generally in such affidavit that at a previous
time such person resided out of this state in a certain place (naming the
place and stating the latest date known to affiant when such party so resided
there); that such place is the last place in which such party resided to
the knowledge of affiant; that such party no longer resides at such place;
that affiant does not know the present place of residence of such party
or where such party can be found; and that affiant does not know and has
never been informed and has no reason to believe that such party now resides
in this state; and, in such case, it shall be presumed that such party still
resides and remains out of the state, and such affidavit shall be deemed
to be a sufficient showing of due diligence to find the defendant. This
rule shall apply to all manner of civil actions, including those for divorce.
|
| |
|
(ii) |
|
Property. In any action which relates to,
or the subject of which is, real or personal property in this state in which
such person defendant or corporation defendant has or claims a lien or interest,
actual or contingent, therein, or in which the relief demanded consists
wholly or in part of excluding such person or corporation from any interest
therein, and the said defendant resides out of the state or has departed
from the state, or cannot after due diligence be found within the state,
or conceals himself to avoid the service of summons, the judge or justice
may make an order that the service be made by the publication of summons;
said service by publication shall be made in the same manner as now provided
in all cases of service by publication. |
| |
|
(iii) |
|
Publication. The order shall direct the
publication to be made in a newspaper, published in the State of Nevada,
to be designated by the court or judge thereof, for a period of four weeks,
and at least once a week during said time. In addition to in-state publication,
where the present residence of the defendant is unknown the order may also
direct that publication be made in a newspaper published outside the State
of Nevada whenever the court is of the opinion that such publication is
necessary to give notice that is reasonably calculated to give a defendant
actual notice of the proceedings. In case of publication, where the residence
of a nonresident or absent defendant is known, the court or judge shall
also direct a copy of the summons and complaint to be deposited in the post
office, directed to the person to be served at his place of residence. When
publication is ordered, personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint,
out of the state, shall be equivalent to completed service by publication
and deposit in the post office, and the person so served shall have twenty
days after said service to appear and answer or otherwise plead. The service
of summons shall be deemed complete in cases of publication at the expiration
of four weeks from the first publication, and in cases when a deposit of
a copy of the summons and complaint in the post office is also required,
at the expiration of four weeks from such deposit. |
| |
(2) |
|
|
Personal Service Outside the State. Personal
service of summons upon a party outside this state may be made by delivering
a copy of the summons, together with a copy of the complaint, to the party
served in the manner provided by statute or rule of court for service upon
a party of like kind within this state. This method of service may be used
only where the party being served has submitted to the jurisdiction of the
courts of this state as provided by NRS 14.065. The methods of service are
cumulative, and may be utilized with, after, or independently of, other
methods of service. |
| |
(3) |
|
|
Statutory Service. Whenever a statute provides
for service, service may be made under the circumstances and in the manner
prescribed by the statute. |
| (f) |
|
|
|
Territorial limits of effective service.
All process, including subpoenas, may be served anywhere within the territorial
limits of the State and, when a statute or rule so provides, beyond the
territorial limit of the state. A voluntary appearance of the defendant
shall be equivalent to personal service of process upon him in this State.
|
| (g) |
|
|
|
Return. The person serving the process
shall make proof of service thereof to the court promptly and in any event
within the time during which the person served must respond to the process.
Proof of service shall be as follows: |
| |
(1) |
|
|
If served by the sheriff or his deputy,
the affidavit or certificate of such sheriff or deputy; or |
| |
(2) |
|
|
If by any other person, his affidavit thereof;
or |
| |
(3) |
|
|
In case of publication, the affidavit of
the publisher, his foreman or principal clerk, or other employee having
knowledge thereof, showing the same, and an affidavit of a deposit of a
copy of the summons in the post office, if the same shall have been deposited;
or |
| |
(4) |
|
|
The written admission of the defendant.
In case of service otherwise than by publication, the certificate or affidavit
shall state the date, place and manner of service. Failure to make proof
of service shall not affect the validity of the service. |
| (h) |
|
|
|
Amendment. At any time in its discretion
and upon such terms as it deems just, the court may allow any process or
proof of service thereof to be amended, unless it clearly appears that material
prejudice would result to the substantial rights of the party against whom
the process issued. |
| (i) |
|
|
|
Summons: Time Limit for Service.
If a service of the summons and complaint is not made upon a defendant within
120 days after the filing of the complaint and the party on whose behalf
such service was required cannot show good cause why such service was not
made within that period, the action shall be dismissed as to that defendant
without prejudice upon the court's own initiative with notice to such party
or upon motion.

| Rule 45. Subpoena.
|
| (a) |
|
|
|
For attendance of witnesses; forms; issuance.
Every subpoena shall be issued by the clerk under the seal of the court,
shall state the name of the court and the title of the action, and shall
command each person to whom it is directed to attend and give testimony
at a time and place therein specified. The clerk shall issue a subpoena,
or a subpoena for the production of documentary evidence, signed and sealed
but otherwise in blank, to a party requesting it, who shall fill it in before
service. |
| (b) |
|
|
|
For production of documentary evidence.
A subpoena may also command the person to whom it is directed to produce
the books, papers, documents, or tangible things designated therein; but
the court, upon motion made promptly and in any event at or before the time
specified in the subpoena for compliance therewith, may |
| |
(1) |
|
|
quash or modify the subpoena if it is unreasonable
and oppressive or (2) condition denial of the motion upon the advancement,
by the person in whose behalf the subpoena is issued, of the reasonable
cost of producing the books, papers, documents, or tangible things. |
| (c) |
|
|
|
Service. A subpoena may be served by the sheriff, by his deputy,
or by any other person who is not a party and is not less than 18 years
of age. Service of a subpoena upon a person named therein shall be made
by delivering a copy thereof to such person and by tendering to him the
fees for one day's attendance and the mileage allowed by law. When the subpoena
is issued on behalf of the State or an officer or agency thereof, fees and
mileage need not be tendered. |
| (d) |
|
|
|
Subpoena for taking depositions; place
of examination. |
| |
(1) |
|
|
A request of a party constitutes a sufficient
authorization for the issuance, by the clerk of the district court for the
district in which the action is pending, of subpoenas for the persons named
or described therein. The subpoena may command the person to whom it is
directed to produce and permit inspection and copying of designated books,
papers, documents, or tangible things which constitute or contain matters
within the scope of the examination permitted by Rule 26(b), but in that
event the subpoena will be subject to the provisions of Rule 26(c) and subdivision
(b) of this rule. The person to whom the subpoena is directed may, within
10 days after the service thereof or on or before the time specified in
the subpoena for compliance if such time is less than 10 days after service,
serve upon the attorney designated in the subpoena written objection to
inspection or copying of any or all of the designated materials. If objection
is made, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled to inspect
and copy the materials except pursuant to an order of the court from which
the subpoena was issued. The party serving the subpoena may, if objection
has been made, move upon notice to the deponent for an order at any time
before or during the taking of the deposition. |
| |
(2) |
|
|
A resident of the district in which the
deposition is to be taken may be required to attend an examination only
in the county wherein he resides or is employed or transacts his business
in person, or at such other convenient place as is fixed by an order of
court. A nonresident of the district may be required to attend only in the
county wherein he is served with a subpoena, or within 40 miles from the
place of service, or at such other convenient place as is fixed by an order
of court. |
| |
(3) |
|
|
If the action is pending out of the state,
the subpoenas may be issued by the clerk of any district court, and the
court in the district in which the deposition is being taken shall, for
the purposes of these rules, be considered the court in which the action
is pending. |
| (e) |
|
|
|
Subpoena for a hearing or trial.
|
| |
(1) |
|
|
At the request of any party subpoenas for
attendance at a hearing or trial shall be issued by the clerk of the district
court for the district in which the hearing or trial is held. A subpoena
requiring the attendance of a witness at a hearing or trial may be served
at any place within the State. |
| (f) |
|
|
|
Contempt. Failure by any person without
adequate excuse to obey a subpoena served upon him may be deemed a contempt
of the court from which the subpoena issued.

Every corporation, limited-liability company,
limited-liability partnership, limited partnership, business trust and municipal
corporation created and existing under the laws of any other state, territory,

must be renewed in the manner provided in Title 7 of NRS whenever a change
is made in the appointment or a vacancy occurs in the agency. |
| 2. |

All legal process and any demand or notice
authorized by law to be served upon the foreign corporation, limited-liability
company, limited-liability partnership, limited partnership, business trust
or municipal corporation may be served upon the resident agent personally
or by leaving a true copy thereof with a person of suitable age and discretion
at the address shown on the current certificate of acceptance filed with
the secretary of state. |

Subsection 2 provides an additional mode
and manner of serving process, demand or notice and does not affect the
validity of any other service authorized by law.
[1911 CPA § 82; A 1933, 191; 1939, 66; 1931 NCL § 8580] - (NRS A 1969, 570;

Service of process, demand or notice when foreign corporation, limited-liability
company, limited-liability partnership, limited partnership, business trust
or municipal corporation fails to appoint resident agent. |
| 1. |
|
|
|
If any artificial person described in NRS
14.020 fails to appoint a resident agent, or fails to file a certificate
of acceptance of appointment for 30 days after a vacancy occurs in the agency,
on the production of a certificate of the secretary of state showing either
fact, which is conclusive evidence of the fact so certified to be made a
part of the return of service, the artificial person may be served with
any and all legal process, or a demand or notice described in NRS 14.020,
by delivering a copy to the secretary of state, or, in his absence, to any
deputy secretary of state, and such service is valid to all intents and
purposes. The copy must: |
| |
(a) |
|
|
Include a specific citation to the provisions
of this section. The secretary of state may refuse to accept such service
if the proper citation is not included. |
| |
(a) |
|
|
Be accompanied by a fee of $10. The secretary
of state shall keep a copy of the legal process received pursuant to this
section in his office for at least 1 year after receipt thereof and shall
make those records available for public inspection during normal business
hours. |
| 2. |
|
|
|
In all cases of such service, the defendant
has 40 days, exclusive of the day of service, within which to answer or
plead. |
| 3. |
|
|
|
Before such service is authorized, the plaintiff
shall make or cause to be made and filed an affidavit setting forth the
facts, showing that due diligence has been used to ascertain the whereabouts
of the officers of the artificial person to be served, and the facts showing
that direct or personal service on, or notice to, the artificial person
cannot be had. |
| 4. |
|
|
|
If it appears from the affidavit that there
is a last known address of the artificial person or any known officers thereof,
the plaintiff shall, in addition to and after such service on the secretary
of state, mail or cause to be mailed to the artificial person or to the
known officer, at such address, by registered or certified mail, a copy
of the summons and a copy of the complaint, and in all such cases the defendant
has 40 days after the date of the mailing within which to appear in the
action. |
| 5. |
|
|
|
This section provides an additional manner
of serving process, and does not affect the validity of any other valid
service.

Service by publication on unknown parties generally. If any plaintiff shall
allege that there are, or that he verily believes that there are, persons,
other than heirs, interested in the subject matter of the complaint, whose
names he cannot insert therein because they are unknown to him, and shall
describe the interest of such persons and how derived, so far as his knowledge
extends, the court or the judge thereof shall make an order for the publication
of summons, reciting, moreover, the substance of the allegations of the
complaint in relation to the interest of such unknown parties; and, after
the completion of service by such publication, the court shall have jurisdiction
of such persons, and any judgment or decree rendered in the action shall
apply to and conclude such persons with respect to such interest in the
subject matter of the action.
[1911 CPA § 88; RL § 5030; NCL § 8586] |
| NRS 14.060
Proceedings where there are several defendants and part only are served.
Where the action is against two or more defendants, and the summons is served
on one or more but not on all of them, the plaintiff may proceed as follows:
|
| 1. |
|
|
|
If the action be against the defendants
jointly indebted upon a contract, he may proceed against the defendant served,
unless the court otherwise directs; and if he recover judgment, it may be
entered against all the defendants thus jointly indebted, so far only as
that it may be enforced against the joint property of all and the separate
property of the defendant served; or |
| 2. |
|
|
|
If the action be against defendants severally
liable, he may proceed against the defendants served in the same manner
as if they were the only defendants.

over a party to a civil action on any basis not inconsistent with the constitution
of this state or the Constitution of the United States. |
| 2. |
|
|
|
Personal service of summons upon a party
outside this state is sufficient to confer upon a court of this state jurisdiction
over the party so served if the service is made by delivering a copy of
the summons, together with a copy of the complaint, to the party served
in the manner provided by statute or rule of court for service upon a person
of like kind within this state. |
| 3. |
|
|

The method of service provided in this section
is cumulative, and may be utilized with, after or independently of other

Exercise of jurisdiction on any basis consistent with state and federal
constitutions; service of summons to confer jurisdiction. |
| 1. |
|
|
|
The use and operation of a motor vehicle
over the public roads, streets or highways, or in any other area open to
the public and commonly used by motor vehicles, in the State of Nevada by
any person, either as principal, master, agent or servant, shall be deemed
an appointment by the operator, on behalf of himself and his principal or
master, his executor, administrator or personal representative, of the director
of the department of motor vehicles and public safety to be his true and
lawful attorney upon whom may be served all legal process in any action
or proceeding against him, his principal or master, his executor, administrator
or personal representative, growing out of such use or resulting in damage
or loss to person or property, and the use or operation signifies his agreement
that any process against him which is so served has the same legal force
and validity as though served upon him personally within the State of Nevada.
|
| 2. |
|
|
|
Service of process must be made by leaving
a copy of the process with a fee of $5 in the hands of the director of the
department of motor vehicles and public safety or in his office, and the
service shall be deemed sufficient upon the operator if notice of service
and a copy of the process is sent by registered or certified mail by the
plaintiff to the defendant at the address supplied by the defendant in his
accident report, if any, and if not, at the best address available to the
plaintiff, and a return receipt signed by the defendant or a return of the
United States Postal Service stating that the defendant refused to accept
delivery or could not be located, or that the address was insufficient,
and the plaintiff's affidavit of compliance therewith are attached to the
original process and returned and filed in the action in which it was issued.
Personal service of notice and a copy of the process upon the defendant,
wherever found outside of this state, by any person qualified to serve like
process in the State of Nevada is the equivalent of mailing, and may be
proved by the affidavit of the person making the personal service appended
to the original process and returned and filed in the action in which it
was issued. |
| 3. |
|
|
|
The court in which the action is pending
may order such continuances as may be necessary to afford the defendant
reasonable opportunity to defend the action. |
| 4. |
|
|
|
The fee of $5 paid by the plaintiff to the
director of the department of motor vehicles and public safety at the time
of the service must be taxed in his costs if he prevails in the suit. The
director of the department of motor vehicles and public safety shall keep
a record of all service of process, including the day and hour of service.
|
| 5. |
|
|
|
The foregoing provisions of this section
with reference to the service of process upon an operator defendant are
not exclusive, except if the operator defendant is found within the State
of Nevada, he must be served with process in the State of Nevada. |

|
The provisions of this section apply to
nonresident motorists and to resident motorists who have left the state
or cannot be found within the state following an accident which is the subject
of an action for which process is served pursuant to this section.

with any legal process in any action to recover damages for an injury to
a person or property resulting from such distribution, sale or use in this
state by mailing to the last known address of the company, firm, partnership,

served with any legal process in the manner provided in this section. If
there is: |
