The pleading forms available from this website do not provide legal advice. They are merely examples to illustrate the type of information that is helpful to provide in filing pleadings with the court. Use of any of these forms is no guarantee that your pleading will be deemed to be legally sufficient or factually correct.

These forms do not give any guidance on when certain pleadings must be filed or when certain claims or defenses may be raised. Further, these forms offer no guidance on who may be proper parties to the action. If you are representing yourself in a civil action, you should familiarize yourself with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this Court’s Local Rules, and the case law applicable to your particular case in order to determine these pleading requirements.

No form can serve as a substitute for consulting with a licensed attorney. If you are not an attorney and are suing or have been sued, it would be best to consult with an attorney if possible.
