Thanks a lot.

oath on Nov 15/06. Incredible b/c I thought this Houston district was going to be a tough jurisdiction to win my 1447 case b/c the previous judges slam 6 cases shut with out a hearing. I told the assigned AUSA I was prepared to
fight this case to the end, no matter what the outcome was.
I thank the people who started this forum who make it happen, and give me the ability and tools to fight. Know matter how tough the situation is you got
to fight for what is right.
filed sept 21/06
served AUSA 9/22/06

paz1960 said:Although 786riz gave you a trully correct explanation about the Infopass, you should not put too high hopes in that. Experience on this forum shows that you can get rarely anything useful from these appointments. But you should try yourself, maybe you will be lucky... Keep us posted about the outcome.
Moon_g said:Help! Urgent!!
I am going to send the summon to defendants, but I don't know how to fill out the back table of the summon (See attachment).
1. I, myself is the Server right?
2. I should check "Served personaly ......" and write defendant address here right?
3. What is the Travel and Services Fee?
4. I should sign and dated at "Declaration section right?
5. Very confued: I have two set summons, one is for defendants and the other set will be return to the District Court after fiiling out the back table. Do I need to send the sommon with filled back table to each defendant or just leave the summon back blank?
Thanking you!!!
DelightFish said:HI Moon_g,
Here is the anwers:
(1) you, yourself is the Server.
(2) you should choose: other (specify): Mailed U.S. Certified Mail/Retrun Reciept Requested.
(3) Travel: -0-, Services: $ 8.30 (the money you paid for mailing the summons), Total: $8.30
(4) yes
(5) you can send the sommons with blank summon back (return of service) to each defendant.
This is what I did and hope it helps.
Good luck.
DelightFish said:In addition,
You should send the summons with empty 'Return of Service' to all the defendants.
After you served all the defendants, you should fill this Table and return it to your District Court.
Hope it is clear.
Moon_g said:Thanks DelightFish,
I almost have the same situ with you. My Name Check have been pending since April, 2004. I will keep you posted about my lawsuit result. By the way, is your case in Nebraska Service Center?
Thanks again!
firebird123 said:1) Is "Summon's Certificate of Service" the back page of the Summon sheet
with the title "RETURN OF SERVICE" ?
2) When to send the "Certificate of Service" to the court after filing ? Right after mail
the Summons out ? Or wait until all return receipts come back ? The law seems to
require only registered or certified mail, but not with return confirmation.
So waiting until all return receipts to come back seems a bit unreasonable
as a requirement. I can understand if one opts to wait. But should not be required to wait 'til all the receipts to come back.
Could any one more familiar with the matter than me give me a clue ?
Thanks,
firebird123 said:Great thanks for your detailed explanation.
I'm in the Northen CA, San Jose area. And the local rules only state the following (CIV Page 36):
5-6. Certificate of Service
(a) Form. ... it must bear or have attached to it:
(1) An acknowledge of service by the person served; or
(2) Certificate of service stating the date, place and manner of service and the names street address or electronic address of the person served, certified by the person who made service, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. $1746.
where 28 U.S.C $1746 just specifies how to say "I declare ... under penalty of perjury ...".
So no more details on service by mail. And (2) seems to hint that right after mailing out, the "Certificate of Service" could be sent back to court, probably plus the "green slip" you mentioned. Court clerk does not want to say anything. So I guess I can just send back right after mailing out instead of waiting for potentially many weeks for the delivery confirmfation (the green card), unless
you or somebody else can shed more light on this.
Thanks again. I believe once I go through this ordeal, I'll make more contributions to this thread on the process and experience, particularly in the N. CA. district. This has been very helpful for me to start rolling.
DelightFish said:Please see the attchment. Basically, it is the format of Certificate of Service. That is: You need to make the statement that on which day, you served Summons and Complain to all the defendants via certified mail......
then you need to fill the return of service.
In my district court, it is fine to file the return of service by the "green slip" + the track results from internet. But it is better you wait until the track results show that the mail has been delivered.
For me, I waited one week and see all the mails were delivered, then I filed the Return of Service. At that time, I got two green confimation card back. Then I just used these two for the two defendants and all the left I used the "green slip" + the track results from internet.
hope it helps.
