Description
SUMMONS IN A CIVIL ACTION. This form is used to notify a defendant that they are being sued in a federal civil case. It provides details of the lawsuit, the case number, and the plaintiff’s attorney's information. It informs the defendant of their obligation to respond within a specified time frame, usually 21 days, either by filing an answer to the complaint or a motion under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It warns that failure to respond may result in a default judgment against the defendant. The form also includes a section for the process server to certify how and when the summons and complaint were served on the defendant. www.FormsWorkflow.com
