D.N.H. LR 4.1
Summons; Waiver of Service for Summons
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
clerk’s office and on the court’s web site (www.nhd.uscourts.gov). For those cases subject to
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.

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.
