Legal Question

What is the time limit for actually serving the summons once you file the case in court in California. I found a time limit in federal bankruptcy law, but am unable to find a limit in California Code of Civil Procedure. I assume their must be one. In federal bankruptcy law, the summons is only good for so many days, I believe 15, then you must get another one.
