SUMMONS

NOTICE!    YOU HAVE BEEN SUED.  THE COURT MAY DECIDE AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR BEING HEARD UNLESS YOU FILE A RESPONSE WITH THE COURT WITHIN 20 DAYS.  READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY.

To the Defendant named above:

A civil complaint has been filed by the Plaintiff against you.  Plaintiff is seeking to recover the relief requested in the complaint, which could include a money judgment against you or some other form of relief.

If you intend to defend this lawsuit, within 20 days after this Summons is served on you (not counting the day of service), you must:

1.    File with the Clerk of the Court, whose address is shown below, a formal written response (typically a legal document called an “answer,” but potentially some other response) to Plaintiff’s complaint.

2.    Pay the required filing fee of $71 to the court, or file an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and request a waiver of the filing fee.

3.    Serve (by mail or hand delivery) a copy of your response upon the Plaintiff whose name and address is shown below.

If you fail to respond, the Plaintiff can request your default.  The court can then enter judgment against you for the relief demanded by the Plaintiff in the complaint, even though you have never appeared in court.  To enforce the judgment, the Plaintiff could take money or property from you or some other relief awarded by the court.

If you intend to seek an attorney’s advice, do it quickly so that your response can be filed on time.

(This Summons must be signed by the Clerk of the Court.)
