Puerto Rico Sample Letter for Motion to Extend Time for Service of Process [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Court Name] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Motion to Extend Time for Service of Process — [Case Name/Number] Dear [Court Clerk/Honorable Judge], I, [Your Name], am I writing this letter to request an extension of time for the service of process in the aforementioned case. Due to unforeseen circumstances and circumstances beyond my control, it has become necessary to request this extension in order to properly serve the defendant(s) in Puerto Rico. In accordance with Rule XX of the Puerto Rico Rules of Civil Procedure, the undersigned party seeks a reasonable and justifiable extension of time for service of process, as the initial deadline will prove impracticable to meet. The specific reasons for this request are outlined below: 1. Difficulty in locating the defendant(s) — The defendant(s) reside(s) in Puerto Rico, and due to their transient lifestyle or lack of a fixed address, locating them has become an arduous task. Despite diligent efforts and engagement of a professional process server, the defendant(s) could not be served within the prescribed time frame. 2. Language barrier — As Puerto Rico is a predominantly Spanish-speaking territory, the language barrier has hindered the service of process. Hiring a bilingual process server has not yielded the desired results, and additional time is required to ensure proper translation and understanding of the legal documents by the defendant(s). 3. COVID-19 pandemic — The ongoing pandemic has led to disruptions in regular business operations, limiting access to public spaces and impeding the ability to effectuate service of process in a timely manner. These uncontrollable circumstances have significantly affected the efficiency of serving legal documents. Based on the aforementioned reasons, I humbly request an extension of [number of days requested] days to complete the service of process. Granting this extension would enable a fair and just resolution of the case, ensuring due process and allowing all parties involved to participate fully. I assure the honorable court that all efforts, both within my control and available resources, shall be exercised to ensure timely and proper service upon the defendant(s) within the extended time frame. Thank you for your time and consideration of this motion. I eagerly await your favorable response, understanding the challenges faced in serving process in Puerto Rico.
