Under Minnesota Statutes section 45.028, subdivision 2 (2024), which requires a plaintiff commencing an action under the substituted-service statute to file an affidavit of compliance “on or before the return day of the process, if any, or within further time as the court allows,” a district court may extend the time to file the affidavit beyond the return day of the process. 2.
