court - federal

i have reason to believe that i have been sued in mass. federal court.

the complaint apparently was docketed on march 1, 2001. a summons was issued but there has been no attempt at service. i live in new york state.

is there a time limit to serve process and what happens to the complaint if the time is exceeded?
