[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Company/Organization Name] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Motion to Extend Time for Service of Process in [Case Name/Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I am writing to request an extension of time for service of process in the above-mentioned case, which has been filed in the [Court Name]. This motion is being made pursuant to the Oklahoma Rules of Civil Procedure [cite the specific rule if applicable]. I would like to bring to your attention, as the assigned judge in this case, the difficulties we have encountered in promptly effecting service of process upon the defendant. Due to unforeseen circumstances and the defendant's location, it has become unreasonably burdensome to achieve proper and timely service within the original timeframe. To provide further clarity on why an extension is necessary, I would like to mention the following factors that justify the need for additional time: 1. Diligent Efforts: Despite our diligent efforts, we have been unable to locate the defendant at their last known address, make contact with their legal representative, or successfully effect service by alternative means thus far. 2. Uncooperative Parties: The defendant, to our knowledge, is purposefully evading service or actively evading any contact from process servers. This has created significant challenges given the nature of their actions and the complexity of locating them for proper service. 3. Cross-Jurisdictional Complications: The defendant's current location falls outside of Oklahoma, within a jurisdiction that imposes hurdles on service of process, thereby delaying our ability to effect proper service. This has resulted in a need for coordination with external authorities and legal jurisdictions for compliance. Based on the aforementioned reasons, we respectfully request that the court grant us an extension of [state the desired duration in days or weeks] to effectuate proper service of process and allow for the initiation of the subsequent legal proceedings. This extension would significantly contribute to ensuring that the defendant is properly notified and served, thereby preserving the integrity of the legal proceedings. In accordance with the Oklahoma Rules of Civil Procedure, we hereby certify that the present motion is made in good faith and not for any improper purpose, such as delay or harassment. We propose [state a specific deadline for the extended time] as the new deadline for service of process. This additional time will adequately address the current challenges faced in serving the defendant while upholding the principles of due process. Enclosed herewith, please find a proposed order granting the extension of time for service of process. We kindly ask that you review and consider signing it should the court approve our motion. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We remain open to any suggestions or recommendations you may have concerning the service of process issue. Please feel free to reach me at [your phone number or email address] if you require any further information or clarification.
