WAIVER OF THE SERVICE OF SUMMONS 

To: Freese & Goss PLLC - Birmingham, AL 

(Name of plaintiff’s attorney or unrepresented plaintiff) 

I have received your request to waive service of a summons in this action along with a copy of the complaint, two 

copies of this 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 Rule 12 within 

60 days from 10/30/2017, the date when this request was sent (or 90 days if it was sent outside the United States). If I fail 

to do so, a default judgment will be entered against me or the entity I represent.

Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary expenses of serving a 

summons and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff 

located in the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure. 

Case 2:15-md-02641-DGC Document 8686 Filed 11/08/17 Page 1 of 2
2

“Good cause” does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has 

no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendant’s property. 

If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of 

a summons or of service. 

If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the 

plaintiff and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been 

served.

Case 2:15-md-02641-DGC Document 9990 Filed 02/06/18 Page 1 of 1
#### Kentucky Insurance Company *v.*Parker Jones.

*Fire*Insurance — Cancellation of Policy.

The wrongful procurement of a policy of Insurance by the Company, and cancellation of same, will in no manner protect them against their responsibility on account of the loss of the insured property by fire.

Same — Duty of Agent to Properly Describe Property.

A variance between the policy and the application as to the description of the property is unavailable to the Company it being their duty in filling out the policy to describe it to a common intent; for which error, they are at fault, and not the insured.

Attachment — Creditors Eight to Proceeds of Insurance Policy.

A creditor, as vendor of the insured property of one to whom the policy had been asigned, has a right to attach the liability of the Insurance Company to the assignee. '

APPEAL FROM JEFFERSON CIRCUIT COURT, CHANCERY DIVISION.

December 15, 1868.

Opinion of the Court by

Judge Williams :

January 3, 1866, tbe appellant by writing endorsed on tbe policy of insurance made to Jones and Kelly, and wbo bad assigned it to Edie & Ames and wbo bad assigned it to W. J. Ames & Co., consented to tbe latter assignment and recognized tbe interest of W. J. Ames & Co.

After W. J. Ames secretly left Louisville, said policy wrongfully fell into tbe bands of Barrett and from him appellant wrongfully obtained it and illegally cancelled tbe same, but wbicb can in no manner protect tbem against tbeir responsibility on account of tbe loss of tbe insured bouse by fire.

Tbe variance between tbe policy and tbe application and description is equally unavailoeing; tbe officer knew tbe property sought to be insured and it was tbeir duty in filling out tbe policy to describe it to a comomn intent at least, if this was not done, wbicb we do not even intimate, it was tbeir fault and not that of tbe assured, especially as tbey were ignorant Africans. Jones being a creditor, as vendor of tbe insured property, of W. J. Ames & Co. could therefore attach this liability of tbe Insurance Com*546pany to them, and the court properly adjudged not only the amount of appellant’s liability to W. J. Ames & Co. but appropriated this to the claim of the appellee Jones.

8Orman, *for a'ppellant.*

Stratton, *for appellee.*

Wherefore, the judgment is affirmed with damages.
#### STATE OF NEW JERSEY v. MARK P. ZIFF.

April 25, 1989.

Leave to appeal is granted, and the matter is summarily-remanded to the Pretrial Intervention Program Director of Hunterdon County to reconsider the application in light of the three-year supervisory period provided for by *N.J.S.A.*2C:43-13 and this Court’s Order of April 24, 1989, which relaxed *Rule*3:28 to conform to the statutory amendment.
UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 96-2729
STEPHEN BECKER, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus JEFFREY KENT, Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District ofMaryland, at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, District Judge. (CA96-3044-S) Submitted: February 13, 1997 Decided: February 25, 1997 Before WIDENER and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Stephen Becker, Appellant Pro Se. Jeffrey Kent, Appellee Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).2 PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his motion for reconsideration in a civil action arising under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681a-t (1994). We have reviewedthe district court's opinion and find that the motion was meritless. However, we note that the district court should have based its denial on this court's holding in Yohay v. City of Alexandria , 827 F.2d 967, 971-72 (4th Cir. 1987), where we stated that users of consumer credit reports may be civilly liable for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act if the violations are willful. BecauseAppellee obtained Appellant's credit report for a legitimate business reason, and not under false pretenses, Appellee did not commit a willful violation. Id. ; see 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681n, o, q (1994). Accordingly, we affirm the denial of relief, albeit on different grounds than those relied upon by the district court. We dispensewith oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
