Service by mail
I though I remembered there being extra time alotted for documents being served by mail, but can't seem to find a rule stating such in the FRCP. Does anyone know if this is true or not and which rule if any states the answer?

In federal court, the subject is covered in the local civil rules for whatever district you are in (e.g. Central District of CA, 3 days). In state court it is 5 days in-state, 10 days out-of-state, 20 days internationally per CCP 1013.
