D.N.M.LR-Civ. 3.1
Civil Cover Sheet
• A civil cover sheet form, available from the Clerk, must be completed and attached to the
pleading initiating a civil action. This requirement is for administrative purposes, and
information appearing on the civil cover sheet will have no legal effect in the action.
• The Clerk will file the initiating paper even if it is submitted without the completed cover
sheet. The Clerk will give written notice of the deficiency and deadline for correcting
the deficiency. The Court may dismiss the action, without prejudice, for failure to cure
the deficiency.
• A pro se party filing a civil action need not complete the cover sheet.

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.
