The summons and complaint (this may also be titled a petition, especially in state court) will tell you how much time you have to file a response. A defendant must respond to the plaintiff's complaint in a short period of time, usually 30 days or less. For example, a defendant in a federal lawsuit has to respond to the complaint within 21 days after the complaint and summons is served. State courts vary, so if you are being sued in state court, make sure to check the requirements. For example, in Texas, you must file a written answer to the plaintiff's petition on or before 10 a.m. on the Monday after the expiration of 20 days after the date of service. If the 20th day after service falls on a Monday, the answer is due on the next Monday. Every valid complaint must contain the following information. If any of this information is missing, you may be able to ask the court to dismiss the complaint rather than answering it. Consult with an attorney to figure out if that's the right move in your case. Jurisdictional basis. The plaintiff must state why the court is the proper place for the case to be heard (based on location, and whether it is a state or federal court), and why the court has jurisdiction over you. Causes of action. These are the actual 'complaints' the plaintiff has against you, framed in terms of viable legal claims. Relief demanded. The plaintiff must specify what he or she seeks from you. This most commonly includes monetary damages, an injunction (a court order preventing you from doing something), a request to pay his/her attorney's fees and court costs. Note that in the initial complaint, the plaintiff must include the type of relief sought, but need not provide specific dollar amounts. Although the format and procedure for answering a complaint is similar in most areas, always read the court rules for your jurisdiction prior to drafting any legal document. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure govern lawsuits in federal courts. If you are being sued in federal court, be sure to also check the website for the particular federal district court in which the complaint was filed. You will find the court's Local Rules on its website. Read the Local Rules carefully: they may impose requirements above and beyond those in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If you are being sued in state court, check your state's rules. These can be found on the internet. Also check any Local Rules for the particular court listed on the complaint. No matter which jurisdiction you are being sued in, be sure to also look up the particular judge who is assigned to your case. Each judge may have his/her own "chamber's rules" posted online regarding procedures that you will also need to know. You may wish to handle this initial stage of the lawsuit yourself, but remember it is vitally important to follow all the applicable rules and procedures. If the pending lawsuit becomes too complicated for you to resolve without legal assistance, look into retaining an attorney to represent you. If you are being sued in a jurisdiction in which you do not live, you will likely be required to retain 'local counsel' who practices in that jurisdiction to file documents and appear in court on your behalf. Check the rules for the court to see whether it is possible to represent yourself (called 'pro se') at all, or whether you will need to hire an attorney, and by what stage of the lawsuit.

Unplug or switch off your outdoor split A/C unit so that no electricity is flowing into it. Since you'll be rinsing off the fins of the AC with cold water, you definitely don't want it to be hooked up. Your power system might be hooked up to a breaker, or it could have its own power sourceregardless, flip or unplug this source so that the power is completely off. Check your home's schematics if you don't know where the power source is. Generally, it can be found a few feet away from the unit outside. Hook up a vacuum outside and add the brush attachment to the vacuum's nozzle. The condenser fins are thin, vertical metal pieces that line the inside of the metal unit. Turn on the vacuum and suck out any visible dust and debris from the outdoor unit using long movements. Go horizontally and vertically in straight lines until no dirt or leaves are visible in your condenser. Rake around your outdoor unit frequently and brush off any stray leaves or pieces of debris that you see. Take a long dinner knife and slide it through the indentations between any metal fins that seem bent. If you want your condenser to be working at top quality, you want to be sure that all of the fins are straight and functioning properly. You can also purchase specific tools from a home improvement store that are designed to straighten out the A/C condenser fins. Use a screwdriver or another pointed tool to detach the grille from the top of the condenser. Before you can clean out the fins, you need to remove any electrical unitsspecifically, the fan. Use a wrench or screwdriver to remove any bolts or screws securing the fan in place before you lift it out of the metal unit. The fan is wired to the condenser, so you won't be able to remove it completely. Double check the manufacturer's guide to confirm the safest way to take out your outdoor condenser fan. Turn on a garden hose and rinse out the A/C condenser fins from the inside of the metal unit. The rinsing process allows the fins to be as clear and clean as possible, so your condenser can run efficiently. Let the inside of the outdoor unit dry completely before you do anything else. Use a sprayer attachment if you want to get a finer or stronger mist from the hose. Try not to apply too much water pressure to the fins. Use the proper tools to secure your fan back into the condenser unit, and use a screwdriver to reconnect the top grille to the outdoor unit. Once all of these pieces are secure, go to the circuit breaker or power source and flip the electricity on again (or plug in the unit). If your outdoor unit seems to be having issues, don't be afraid to contact a professional for assistance.
