[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Court Name] [Court Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Request to Issue Summons by Publication Case Name: [Plaintiff Name] v. [Defendant Name] Case Number: [Case Number] Dear Clerk of the Court, I am writing to request the issuance of a Summons by Publication for the aforementioned case. Despite our diligent efforts to locate and serve the defendant, it has proven unsuccessful, and we believe that publishing a notice in accordance with Utah law is necessary to provide the defendant with notice of the pending legal proceedings. We have exhausted all traditional means of service, including personal service, certified mail, and attempts to contact the defendant at the provided address. All these efforts resulted in no response or the discovery that the defendant no longer resides at the address provided. As a result, we are seeking the court's approval to proceed with service by publication in compliance with Utah Code § 78B-5-208. This statute allows for service by publication when the defendant's whereabouts are unknown or their current address cannot be reasonably obtained. To ensure compliance with the applicable regulations, we have crafted the necessary summons by publication, which includes the relevant information as required by Utah law. The publication will be made in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the action is pending, once a week for three consecutive weeks, with the first publication to occur within 14 days from the date of this request. If the court grants our request, please issue the Summons by Publication and provide us with specific instructions regarding the publication process, including any specially prescribed forms or publications the court may require. Attached you will find: 1. Proposed Summons by Publication 2. Affidavit of Due Diligence detailing our efforts to locate the defendant. 3. An attorney's verification statement attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. We kindly request that you process this request promptly, considering the time constraints associated with the pending legal proceedings. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title/Position, if applicable] [Your Law Firm/Company Name, if applicable]
