Upon case initiation, the Clerk's Office will issue certain documents as enumerated in LR 16-1.
(b) Issuance of Summons Electronically The Clerk's Office may issue summons electronically by placement of the Court's seal and signature of the issuing clerk on the process documents submitted by the plaintiff(s).
(c) Responsibility to Serve Except as provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1915, the filing party is responsible for serving all documents issued by the clerk at case initiation upon all named parties. In cases which are removed to this Court, the removing defendant is considered the "filing party" for purposes of this rule and must serve the documents issued by the clerk enumerated in LR 16-1 upon all named parties.
Practice Tip Electronic notice by the Court is not a substitute for the filing party's obligation to serve all documents issued by the Court at the time of filing upon all named parties.
