A summons or notice of lawsuit and request for waiver of service for summons for each named

defendant shall be delivered to the clerk’s office contemporaneously with the filings to be served

with the summons. If a summons or notice/request form is not used, the summons or

notice/request shall conform with the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(a) and (d)(1). Summons

or notice of lawsuit and request for waiver of service for summons forms are available in the

preliminary review pursuant to LR 4.3(d)(1), (2) and (4), the court shall not issue a summons for

service and a notice of lawsuit/request for waiver of service of summons shall not be sent to any

party until the preliminary review has been completed and service has been ordered.
