Upon the filing of the

against any defendants.

The summons shall be signed by
the clerk, be under the seal of
the court, contain the name of
the court and county and the
names of the parties, be
directed to the defendant, state
the name and address of the
plaintiff's attorney, if any,
otherwise the plaintiff's
address, and the time within
which these rules require the
defendant to appear and defend,
and shall notify him that in
case of his failure to do so
judgment by default will be
rendered against him for the
relief demanded in the
complaint. When service of the
summons is made by publication,
the summons shall, in addition
to any special statutory
requirements, also contain a
brief statement of the object of
the action substantially as

the United States over eighteen
years of age, except that a
subpoena may be served as
provided in Rule 45; where the
service of process is made
outside of the United States,
after an order of publication,
it may be served either by any
citizen of the United States
over eighteen years of age or by
any resident of the country,
territory, colony or province,
who is over eighteen years of
age.
- Summons: Personal
Service.
The summons and complaint shall
be served together. The
