File a Case

The following steps are required to file a civil case:

(a) File a complaint, attaching a completed Civil Non-Domestic Case Information Report (CC-DCM-002), with the Court (Md. Rule 2-111) for most civil case subtypes. The civil case

subtypes under Table 1.1, Track 1, 1-9 do not require a case information report.

(b) Pay the filing fee. Refer to the Summary of Charges, Costs, and Fees of the Clerks of the

Circuit Court for fees. The filing fee for most civil complaints is $165.00. (See Civil, New

Case. ) In those counties where MDEC has been implemented, cases may be filed (mandatory

for attorneys) and fees paid electronically. Please check with the Clerk of Court to determine

the exact date electronic filing will be accepted. Prepayment of filing fees and other costs

may be waived by the Court, based on the following conditions:

 Filing by the plaintiff of the Request for Waiver of Prepaid Costs (CC-DC-089);

 Representation by a civil legal aid lawyer; and/or

 Other determination by the Court.

If the Court does not grant the request to waive prepaid costs, the plaintiff has 10 days to

pay the filing and other required fees (prepaid costs).

(c) Notify the other party (Defendant). The plaintiff is required to attempt to notify the

defendant that a complaint (lawsuit) has been filed against the defendant. The clerk will

issue a summons to officially notify the defendant that a suit has been filed (Md. Rule 2-

112). The summons has to be served on the defendant within 60-days. After the time limit

has expired, the summons is no longer valid, unless renewed by motion of the plaintiff. The

following documents must be delivered to the defendant: original complaint, summons, and

case information report. There are four legal ways to deliver these documents to the

defendant: 1) Certified Mail, 2) Private Process; 3) Constable (not available in Allegany

County); and 4) Sheriff.

(d) Proof of Service. The Court requires that the plaintiff fill out an Affidavit of Service of

(Private Process) (CC-DR-55) or Affidavit of Service (Certified Mail) (CC-DR-56) form to

prove that the other side has been notified, or served. If the Court does not receive proof of

service within the time allotted for the defendant to file an Answer, the plaintiff may not be

able to present their case on the trial date.

(e) Lack of Jurisdiction. Between the filing of the complaint and service, the Court may dismiss

cases for lack of jurisdiction, and following service for lack of prosecution, or these cases are

withdrawn. If the defendant has not been served after 120 days, the Clerk’s Office sends

notices to the parties that they have 30 days to file a motion to vacate or defer the order of

dismissal, or the case will be dismissed without prejudice. After the 30 day expiration, the

Clerk’s Office reviews the case, and it is presented to a judge who signs an order dismissing

the case. A motion docket entry is made that the case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Answer

The defendant must file an affirmative Answer, typically within 30 days after they have received a

summons, for most Circuit Court civil case subtypes (Md. Rule 2-321).2 See exceptions in (a) and

Table 1.1 above. These cases are considered by the Court to be at issue, and the case shall proceed

(Md. Rule 2-323). In addition, if the defendant seeks to modify any information on the original case

information report, or expects to file a counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, he or she is

required to file with the Answer a defendant’s information report.

Lack of Prosecution. Following service, the Court actively dismisses cases for lack of

prosecution after one year under Md. Rule 2-507, although the majority of dismissals occur

after the Answers have been filed. See Answer above. Following service, if an Answer has not

been filed or, following Answer, no other action has been taken on the case after one year, the

Clerk’s Office sends notices to the parties that they have 30 days to file a motion to vacate or

defer the order of dismissal, or the case will be dismissed without prejudice. After the 30-day

expiration, the Clerk’s Office reviews and dismisses the case. A motion docket entry is made that

the case is dismissed without prejudice for lack of prosecution.

Scheduling

Following filing of a complaint and the Answer, the Assignment Clerk reviews all case filings and

case information sheets and issues a trial assignment that includes dates certain for trial and

Settlement/Pre-Trial Conference. Attorneys and parties are notified by U.S. mail or by placing the

trial assignment in the attorney’s mailbox located in the Clerk’s Office. If a postponement is needed,

a written Motion must be filed with the Court and the judge assigned to the case will make a ruling.

If the postponement is granted, the file will be forwarded to the Assignment Office for rescheduling.

The Clerk’s Office periodically conducts a review of all open cases. If a case is not progressing

through the process, the Clerk’s Office requests the Assignment Office to schedule a Status

Conference Hearing.

Discovery

Discovery is informal for expedited civil cases. No expert reports should be filed by either party. If

expert reports are filed, the case may be transferred to another track for case management.

2 Exceptions include defendants who live outside the State of Maryland, resident agents, officers or agencies

of the U.S. government, among others. See Md. Rule 2-321.

Trial

Trials, and all Court events, are set on a date certain by trial assignment when the Answer is filed.

At trial, both parties should be prepared to present any witnesses, evidence or exhibits to prove or

defend against a claim. If the trial date is postponed for good cause, a new trial date will be

rescheduled on the calendar of the originally assigned trial judge.

Tracks 2 and 3 – Civil Standard and Complex Cases

The diagram on the following page illustrates case processing events for civil standard and complex

cases.

File a Case

The following steps are required to file a civil case:

(a) File a complaint, attaching a completed Civil Non-Domestic Case Information Report (CC-DCM-002), with the Court (Md. Rule 2-111) for most civil case subtypes. The case

information report shall be filed in all civil (non-family) matters with the exception of the

case types noted in the "Committee Note" accompanying Md. Rule 2-111.

(b) Pay the filing fee. Refer to the Summary of Charges, Costs, and Fees of the Clerks of the

Circuit Court for fees. The filing fee for most civil complaints is $165.00. (See Civil, New

Case.) In those counties where MDEC has been implemented, cases may be filed

(mandatory for attorneys) and fees paid electronically. Please check with the Clerk of Court

to determine the exact date electronic filings will be accepted. Filing fees may be waived by

the Court, based on the following conditions:

 Filing by the plaintiff of the Request for Waiver of Prepaid Costs (CC-DC-089); and/or

 Representation by a civil legal aid lawyer; and/or

 Other determination by the Court.

If the Court does not grant the request to waive prepaid costs, the plaintiff has 10 days to

pay the filing and other required fees (prepaid costs).

(c) Notify the other party (Defendant). The plaintiff is required to attempt to notify the

defendant that a complaint (lawsuit) has been filed against the defendant. The clerk will

issue a summons to officially notify the defendant that a suit has been filed (Md. Rule 2-

112). The summons has to be served on the defendant within 60-days. After the time limit

has expired, the summons is no longer valid, unless renewed by motion of the plaintiff. The

following documents must be delivered to the defendant: original complaint, summons, and

case information report. There are four legal ways to deliver these documents to the

defendant: 1) Certified Mail, 2) Private Process; 3) Constable (not available in Allegany

County); and 4) Sheriff.

(d) Proof of Service. The Court requires that the plaintiff fill out an Affidavit of Service

(Private Process) (CC-DR-55) or Affidavit of Service (Certified Mail) (CR-DR 56) form to

prove that the other side has been notified, or served. If the Court does not receive proof of

service within the time allotted (30 days, see Answer below) for the defendant to file an

Answer, the plaintiff may not be able to present his or her case on the trial date.

(e) Lack of Jurisdiction. Between the filing of the complaint and service, the Court may dismiss

cases for the following reasons 1) lack of jurisdiction, 2) following service for lack of

prosecution, or 3) if a case is withdrawn by the plaintiff. If the defendant has not been

served after 120 days, the Clerk’s Office sends notices to the parties that they have 30 days

to file a motion to vacate or defer the order of dismissal, or the case will be dismissed

without prejudice. If a request to set aside the default is not filed upon the expiration of 30

days, the clerk administratively dismisses the case for lack of jurisdiction.

Answer

The defendant must file an affirmative Answer, typically within 30 days after he or she has received

a summons, for most Circuit Court civil case subtypes (Md. Rule 2-321).3 See exceptions in (a) and

Table 1.1 above. These cases are considered by the Court to be at issue, and the case shall proceed

(Md. Rule 2-323). In addition, if the defendant seeks to modify any information on the original case

information report, or expects to file a counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, he or she is

required to file with the Answer a defendant’s information report.

3 Exceptions include defendants who live outside the State of Maryland, resident agents, officers or agencies

of the U.S. government, among others. See Md. Rule 2-321.

Lack of Prosecution. Following service, the Court actively dismisses cases for lack of

prosecution after one year under Md. Rule 2-507, although the majority of dismissals occur

after the Answers have been filed. See Answer above. Following service, if an Answer has not

been filed or, following Answer, no other action has been taken on the case after one year, the

Clerk’s Office sends notices to the parties that they have 30 days to file a motion to vacate or

defer the order of dismissal, or the case will be dismissed without prejudice. After 30 days, the

Clerk’s Office reviews and dismisses the case. A motion docket entry is made that the case is

dismissed without prejudice for lack of prosecution.

Assignment

A judge will be assigned to the case for the trial at the filing of the complaint. The trial judge will

not be the designated judge for the settlement/pre-trial. The trial judge will be responsible for

tracking and managing the case through all subsequent events, up to, and including the trial,

regardless of which judges are assigned to subsequent hearings. The Assignment Office is

responsible for assigning a trial date and notifying all parties via a Scheduling Order. The

Scheduling Order will also state the date and time for the Settlement/Pre-Trial Conference. If a

postponement of the trial date and/or Settlement/Pre-Trial Conference date is required, the

requesting party must file a written notice with the Court. The judge assigned to the case will make

a ruling on the motion. If the motion is granted, the file will be forwarded to the Assignment Office

for rescheduling.

Scheduling Conference

The Court does not conduct scheduling conferences.

Discovery

Procedural, discovery, and dispositive motions may be filed as outlined in the Scheduling Order.

The judge assigned to the case is responsible for the ruling on all motions. For most evidentiary

and dispositive motions, or if requested by one of the parties, a case may be set for a Motions

Hearing. The deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses by all parties is also outlined in the

Scheduling Order.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

In accordance with Title 17 of the Maryland Rules of Procedure, the Court has adopted an

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program. All non-family civil cases in which all parties are

represented by counsel are automatically assigned to mediation. The mediation program is

administered by the Court Administrator. The mediation program is a litigant paid program, with

the parties paying directly to the mediator the hourly rate, which is outlined in the Mediation

Scheduling Order with no more than two hours of mediation unless otherwise agreed to by the

parties. If the parties jointly request additional mediation, the mediator may not increase the

mediation hourly fee. Costs will be equally divided between the parties unless otherwise ordered

by the Court. All fees shall be paid as of the date of the Mediation Conference. If the parties cancel

the mediation session due to settlement of the case and the mediator has expended time to

coordinate the mediation session or correspond with counsel, an administrative fee as outlined in

the Court’s Mediation Scheduling Order shall be paid to the mediator. Costs will be equally divided

between the parties unless otherwise ordered by the Court. This administrative fee shall be paid

within 10 days of notification to the mediator that settlement has occurred.

Pretrial Settlement Conference

A Pretrial Settlement Conference shall be conducted in accordance with Md. Rule 2-504.2. The

purpose of the Pretrial Settlement Conference is to reach a settlement on a case, or to confirm that a

case is ready to go to trial. Counsel or the parties shall be directed to prepare and file, no later than

five business days prior to the Pretrial Settlement Conference, a written statement in accordance

with Md. Rule 2-504.2. All parties and their counsel must be prepared to discuss all aspects of the

case in anticipation of settlement. The settlement judge will not be the same judge as the trial judge.

Counsel of record, who will try the case if it goes to trial, must appear at the Pretrial Settlement

Conference unless excused by the judge who is conducting the Pretrial Settlement Conference. For

those cases that go to trial, a Pretrial Order governing the further pretrial matters and the trial shall

be prepared using the Civil Pretrial Order form. If the case is not ready for trial, it is within the

discretion of the settlement judge to resolve any open issues or reset the Pretrial Settlement

Conference with any appropriate directions or orders regarding the completion of such matters as

will make the case ready for trial. Some complex or specially assigned cases may require a more

extensive and lengthy Pretrial Settlement Conference, either for settlement purposes or for

consideration of other pretrial matters. Any such special assignment shall be made with the

approval of the County Administrative Judge.

If a settlement is reached, the settlement judge will enter a corresponding order, or the agreement

will be placed on the record that day by the settlement judge. Counsel will be instructed, if

necessary, to file an order or line of dismissal and pay any open costs within a specified time period.

Counsel who are designated to prepare any such final order must comply within the time frame

established by the judge. Any disagreements between counsel regarding the language of the order

must be resolved timely between counsel or by prompt notification to the Court. Any failure to

comply with this provision may result in sanctions being imposed by the Court, including but not

limited to monetary sanctions and/or counsel fees. Counsel for the parties, all representatives with

full authority, and all parties may be required to appear in Court on a date to be determined solely

in the discretion of the Court to explain the failure to timely file the appropriate order.

Cases that do not settle at the Pretrial Settlement Conference, will proceed to trial as outlined in the

Scheduling Order issued in the matter.

Pretrial Order

In every case that is not settled at the Pretrial Settlement Conference, the Court shall enter an order

that recites in detail the decisions made at the Pretrial Settlement Conference. The order controls

the subsequent course of the action, but may be modified by the Court to prevent manifest injustice.

In completing the Civil Pretrial Order, the settlement judge shall specify the anticipated length of

trial, number of witnesses, number of experts and number of jurors required, if appropriate. For

jury trials, the Court shall determine the size of the jury panel required, as well as any issues

regarding the number of strikes each party will be entitled to exercise. The Civil Pretrial Order shall

set the deadline for filing and exchanging any voir dire, instructions, and verdict sheets.

Trial

Trials, and all Court events, are set on a date certain by Scheduling Order when the Answer is filed.

At trial, both parties should be prepared to present any witnesses, evidence or exhibits to prove or

defend against a claim. If the trial date is postponed for good cause, a new trial date will be

rescheduled by the Assignment Office after consulting with counsel to secure a date certain. The

procedures for seeking a postponement are below.

The trial judge will preside over the trial and any subsequent re-scheduled trial dates. A substitute

trial judge may be designated for the following reasons: a) illness or other unforeseen absence on

the trial date; b) backup where the trial judge is continuing an ongoing trial; or c) by designation of

the County Administrative Judge.

Track 4 – Foreclosure Cases

Foreclosure cases are scheduled for Status Conference if the Clerk of Court and Court believe the

matter has become stale. Foreclosure cases are set for hearing if the pleadings filed require a

hearing. These matters are scheduled within a relatively short of period of time via a trial

assignment.

All Tracks – Civil Cases

Judgment

The judgment is entered by the clerk following a trial, as soon as is practicable. The order of the

Court is signed on the same form as the original Complaint or Affidavit Judgment. The date of the

judgment is the date the clerk enters the judgment on the electronic case management system

docket (Md. Rule 2-601). Types of judgments include: judgment, consent judgment, and confessed

judgment.

Post-Judgment

On appeal, a Circuit Court case will be reviewed in the Court of Special Appeals.

Enforcement

After the Court issues a judgment and it is entered into the record by the Clerk’s Office, both parties

will receive a copy of the judgment by mail. The Court will not collect the money owed to the

prevailing party. To begin an enforcement action, the prevailing party will have to complete and

file the required forms with the Court, pay the required filing fees and appear in Court for

additional hearings. The prevailing party usually must wait 10 days before he or she can take

further legal action to enforce the judgment. Once the waiting period passes, there are three

different ways a creditor can collect on the judgment:

1. Garnishing the other person’s wages;

2. Garnishing the other person’s bank account; or

3. Seizing the other person’s personal property or real estate.

The prevailing party must file documents with the Court and provide the other party with copies of

all motions or correspondence filed with the Court in order to garnish or seize money or property.

If the other person does not have a job, a bank account, real estate or other significant property, it

may be difficult to collect on the judgment.

Civil Assignment and Scheduling

All cases, when filed, are assigned a judge based on a rotational basis. The assigned judge will

remain the assigned judge for that case, regardless of trial date postponements or motions that are

filed after assignment. The assigned judge will be accountable for the outcome of cases assigned to

him or her for trial.

Special Assignment

The special assignment of all civil matters is the responsibility of the County Administrative Judge.

At the request of any party or if the magistrate or judge determines it is appropriate that a case be

specially assigned for the purposes of litigation management and trial, such request or

recommendation shall be forwarded to the County Administrative Judge.

When appropriate, a case may be specially assigned to a Circuit Court judge by the Administrative

Judge. Individual judges are responsible for the effective management of cases specially assigned to

them; however, the scheduling of specially assigned cases must always be coordinated with the

Assignment Office in order to ensure judicial availability. Specially assigned cases should be

managed to the extent possible consistent with the provisions of this Plan, including adherence to

the Case Time Standards.

Special assignment does not guarantee priority status on the Court’s docket. If the case is specially

assigned, subsequent case management decisions and the selection of a trial date will be made by

the specially assigned judge consistent with the Case Time Standards and in accordance with the

basic plan procedures outlined herein. The scheduling or re-scheduling of all specially assigned

cases must be cleared with the Assignment Office in advance in order to ensure judicial availability.

Postponements

Except as provided below, requests for the postponement of any civil proceedings, shall be made by

motion pursuant to Md. Rules 2-508 and 2-311. These requests will be considered, in accordance

with the provisions of this Plan, by the judge assigned to the case. A strict postponement policy will

be followed. Cases will not be postponed merely by the consent of the parties or because discovery

has not been completed. Any request for postponement must be timely made. Last minute requests

for postponement, absent good cause, shall be denied. Before the Court will consider any request

for postponement the moving party or counsel may coordinate with the Assignment Office to

determine a proposed re-set date, consistent with the Case Time Standards. Compliance with this

procedure does not guarantee that any postponement will be granted.

If a postponement is granted, the provisions of the Pretrial Order shall remain in effect except as

may be amended by the terms of the postponement order. The Court shall determine the future

scheduling of the case consistent with the intent and purposes of this Plan. If a case has been

specially assigned, postponement requests shall be directed to the specially assigned judge. The

standards for postponement of the trial date shall remain the same as for cases not specially

assigned.

Good Cause Requirement

The following shall generally be considered good cause for postponement:

 Trial date conflict. The first case set takes precedence;

 Serious illness of, or death in the family of a party, counsel, or necessary witness;

 Vacation(s) scheduled prior to any assigned trial or hearing date;

 A party did not receive notice of the hearing or trial, through no fault of the party or their

counsel;

 Facts or circumstances arising or becoming apparent too late in the proceedings to be

corrected in advance of the hearing, and which, in the view of the Court, would likely cause

undue hardship or a possible miscarriage of justice if the hearing or trial proceeded as

scheduled.

The following are generally NOT considered good cause for postponement:

 Vacations(s) scheduled after establishing a trial or motion date;

 Consent of counsel without compelling reason or a substantive basis;

 The matter has not previously been postponed (no peremptory postponements);

 Any matter known or which should have been known when the trial date became firm;

 New counsel has entered an appearance or a party wishes to change counsel;

 Discovery is incomplete or was just provided;

 A party wishes to conduct further investigation;

 A party or counsel is unprepared to try to case for reasons including, but not limited to, the

party’s failure to cooperate with or maintain necessary contact with counsel.

Pretrial Settlement Conference Postponements

Requests for postponement of the Pretrial Settlement Conference will be reasonably granted, and

an effort made to reset the matter within 30 days of the original conference date. Counsel or parties

wishing to reset a Pretrial Settlement Conference should file a written motion for postponement.

The pretrial settlement judge will make a ruling on said motion. If granted, the file will be

forwarded to the Assignment Office to reschedule the conference after consulting with counsel to

establish a firm date. Requests not within these time parameters must be made pursuant to Md.

Rule 2-508.

Interpreters

Interpreters are available at no cost to a party or witness involved in a case. If a party or a witness

in a case requests an interpreter, the file is forwarded to the Interpreter Coordinator for the

purposes of securing the appearance of an interpreter at all Court proceedings. In addition to

courtroom proceedings, individuals who may need the assistance of an interpreter in settings other

than the courtroom, the Interpreter Coordinator is authorized to obtain interpreting services for

any of the following court-ordered and court-offered services: ADR/mediations conducted by

court-appointed mediators; and, free of charge events conducted by the Court to assist the public to

access Court services such as workshops, walk-in clinics, self-help centers, etc.

The Court is an authorized State of Maryland Judiciary user of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)

services. VRI services are limited to bond hearings, emergency, or any short and non-complex

hearing where limited testimony will be given. In some instances, it may be used in the event the

Court is unable to secure the physical presence of an interpreter. All VRI services are coordinated

through the Court Interpreter Office.

In addition, interpreter assistance in the Clerk’s Office at the counter and information desks is

available via telephone through Language Line. Additional information about Language Line can be

found in the Clerk’s Office.

Forms

The following forms may be required to be attached to a complaint in civil cases, or to complete a

filing and service.
