Rule 4(b). Summons; Form; Replacement Summons

    The summons shall be signed by the clerk, be under the seal of the court, contain the name of the court and the names of the parties, be directed to the person to be served, state the name and address of the attorney, if any, for the party on whose behalf service is being made, and otherwise that party's address. The summons shall state the time within which these Rules require the person being served to appear and defend, and shall notify that person that in case of a failure to do so judgment by default will be rendered against that person for the relief demanded in the pleading served. A summons, or a copy of the summons in the case of multiple persons to be served, shall be served together with a copy of the pleading to be served. If a summons is returned without being served, or if it has been lost, the clerk may upon request issue a replacement summons in the same form as the original. A replacement summons shall be issued and served within the time prescribed by Rule 4(i) of these Rules for service of the original summons. The summons shall state that “requests for reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities must be made to the court by parties at least 3 working days in advance of a scheduled court proceeding.”
