C.D., Defendant. SERVICE OF A SUMMONS
To: (name of plaintiff's attorney or the unrepresented plaintiff):
I have received your request to acknowledge and waive service of a summons in this action along with a copy of the complaint, two copies of this acknowledgment and waiver form, and a prepaid means of returning one signed copy of the form to you.
I, or the entity I represent, agree to save the expense of serving a summons and complaint in this case.
I understand that I, or the entity I represent, will keep all defenses or objections to the lawsuit, the court's jurisdiction, and the venue of the action, but that I waive any objections to the absence of a summons or of service.
I also understand that I, or the entity I represent, must file and serve an answer or a motion under Montana Rule of Civil Procedure 12 within 21 days from the date I sign this acknowledgment and waiver form (or 42 days if I am signing on behalf of the State of Montana, a state agency, or a state officer or employee).
If I fail to do so, a default judgment will be entered against me or the entity I represent.
