I need a summons. What do I do?
The Court will issue summons once the civil case has been filed, and assigned to a Judicial Officer. The summons will be signed and sealed and forwarded to counsel through the CM/ECF noticing system. The attorney should download the summons, and prepare as many as necessary for service. Service must be made pursuant to FRCP 4.
