Description
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. Federal courts treat the filing of a complaint as satisfying the statute of limitations, even though the defendant may not learn about the suit until service of process after the period of limitations has expired. West v. Conrail, 481 U.S. 35, 95 L. Ed. 2d 32, 107 S. Ct. 1538 (1987). That makes timely service vital, and Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) sets 120 days as the presumptive outer bound. (Until December 1, 1993, this was Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(j); we use the current numbering system.) Thus if the plaintiff has two years from the injury to commence suit, the defendant may not receive notice about the litigation for two years and four months.
