Form 1-A. Notice of Lawsuit and Request for Waiver of Service of Summons

    To: (name of individual defendant or other addressee) [as (title, or other relationship of addressee to corporate or other entity defendant) of (name of corporate or other entity defendant)]

    A lawsuit has been commenced against you (or the entity on whose behalf you are addressed). A copy of the complaint is attached to this notice. It has been filed in the District Court for the _______ Judicial District of the State of Wyoming and has been assigned civil action docket number _______.

    This is not a formal summons or notification from the court, but, rather, my request that you sign and return the enclosed waiver of service in order to save the cost of serving you with a judicial summons and an additional copy of the complaint. The cost of service will be avoided if I receive a signed copy of the waiver within (at least 30, or 60 if the addressee is located in a foreign country) days after the date designated below as the date on which this notice and request is sent. I enclose a stamped, addressed envelope (or other means of cost-free return) for your use. An extra copy of the waiver is also attached for your records.

    If you comply with this request and return the signed waiver, it will be filed with the court and no summons will be served on you. The action will then proceed as if you had been served on the date the waiver is filed, except that you will not be obligated toanswer the complaint before 60 days from the date designated below as the date on which this notice is sent (or before 90 days from that date if your address is not in the United States).

    If you do not return the signed waiver within the time indicated, I will take appropriate steps to effect formal service in the manner authorized by the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure and will then, to the extent authorized by those rules, ask the court to require you (or the party on whose behalf you are addressed) to pay the full costs of such service. In that regard, please read the statement concerning the duty of parties to waive the service of the summons which is set forth on the reverse side (or at the foot) of the waiver form.

    I affirm that this request is being sent to you on behalf of the plaintiff, this ____ day of _______, 19__.
