INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

    The following forms are intended for illustration only. They are limited in number and do not purport to be a manual of forms.

    Except where otherwise indicated each pleading, motion, and other paper should have a caption similar to that of Form 1. In the caption of the summons and in the caption of the complaint all parties must be named; but in other pleadings and papers, it is sufficient to state the name of the first party on either side, with an appropriate indication of other parties. See Rules 4(c), 7(b)(2), and 10(a). The number of the action should be indicated in the caption of all papers filed.

    Each pleading, motion, and other paper is to be signed by at least one attorney of record in his/her individual name (Rule 11). The attorney's name is to be followed by the attorney's firm name (if any) and address as indicated in Form 1. In forms following Form 1 the signature and address are not indicated.

    If a party is not represented by an attorney, the signature and address of the party are required in place of those of the attorney.
