Civil Cover Sheet.

(a) Completed Civil Cover Sheet Required. A completed civil cover sheet (Form JS-

44) shall be submitted to the Clerk with the initial civil complaint or notice of

removal filed in this Court by a litigant represented by counsel. This requirement is

solely for administrative purposes, and matters appearing in the civil cover sheet

have no legal effect in the action.

(b) Failure To Comply. If the initial complaint or notice of removal is filed without a

completed civil cover sheet, the Clerk shall mark the document as to the date

received and promptly give notice of the omission to the party filing the document.

When the civil cover sheet has been completed, the Clerk shall file the complaint or

other document nunc pro tunc as of the date of the original receipt.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
