at each stage of the procedure until it is concluded.

You are responsible for seeing that each defendant receives a copy of this form. If you haven’t heard from anyone about
the case in about fourteen days, then check with the clerk’s office, to make sure that each defendant has been served.

If any of the defendants ask for a trial you will be notified of the place, the date, and the time. You must be present or your

of this form, if the defendant fails to file his/her Answer.
