D.N. Mar. I. LR 3.1
Civil Cover Sheet
Every complaint or other document initiating a civil action must be accompanied by a
completed civil cover sheet, on a form JS 44 available from the clerk and on the Court’s
website. This requirement is solely for administrative purposes; information appearing
only on the civil cover sheet has no legal effect in the action.
If the complaint or other document is filed without a civil cover sheet or with an
incomplete civil cover sheet, the clerk will mark the complaint or other document as to
the date received and promptly give notice of the deficiency to the filing party. When the
deficiency has been corrected, the clerk will 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.
