Description
NOTICE OF LAWSUIT AND REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF SERVICE OF SUMMONS. This form is used in the United States District Court to notify a defendant or entity about a lawsuit filed against them. The purpose of this notice is to request the recipient to waive formal service of summons, which involves signing and returning the enclosed waiver form within a specified period. The form emphasizes that by waiving service, the defendant can avoid the costs associated with formal summons and an additional copy of the complaint. If the defendant returns the signed waiver within the specified time frame, it will be filed with the court, and the lawsuit will proceed as if they had been formally served on that date. However, the defendant is not required to respond to the complaint until 60 days from the designated date of the notice (or 90 days if the defendant's address is outside the United States). If the defendant does not return the signed waiver within the allotted time, the plaintiff will proceed with formal service through other authorized methods under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The plaintiff may then seek reimbursement of the full costs of such service from the defendant. www.FormsWorkflow.com
