Default Judgment: The plaintiff must obtain a default judgment against the defendant within 45 days of the entry of default, unless the plaintiff has obtained an extension of time. Entry of Default: If the plaintiff properly serves the defendant and the defendant doesn’t answer, demur, move to strike, or otherwise respond within 30 days (or, if an extension has been granted, whatever date the defendant’s response was due), the plaintiff must file a request for the entry of default within 10 days of when the time for service has elapsed. Service on New Defendants: If the plaintiff amends the complaint to add a new defendant, the plaintiff must serve the new defendant and file a proof of service with the court within 30 days of filing the amended complaint. Unless the court sets a different time, serving a motion under this rule alters these periods as follows: (A) if the court denies the motion or postpones its disposition until trial, the responsive pleading must be served within 14 days after notice of the court's action or (B) if the court grants a motion for a more definite statement, the responsive pleading must be served within 14 days after the more definite statement is served.

(3) United States Officers or Employees Sued in an Individual Capacity. The United States, a United States agency, or a United States officer or employee sued only in an official capacity must serve an answer to a complaint, counterclaim, or crossclaim within 60 days after service on the United States attorney.
