Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Name of Clerk], I am writing to request the issuance of a summons by publication in the state of West Virginia. As per the requirements of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure, specifically Rule 4(d)(3), I have made diligent efforts to personally serve the defendant(s) named in the case but have been unsuccessful in locating their whereabouts. The case at hand, captioned [Case Name], is pending in [Name of Court]. The defendant(s) in this case, whose names are as follows: [Defendant Name(s)], have been difficult to locate despite my best efforts. I have conducted thorough searches, contacted known associates, and attempted to serve them at their known addresses, but all of these attempts have been unsuccessful. In light of this, I kindly request the court's permission to issue a summons by publication. This method of service is necessary to ensure that the defendant(s) receive notice of the pending legal proceedings against them. I propose that the summons by publication be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the lawsuit is filed, in accordance with the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4(d)(3)(C). This newspaper should be one that is readily available to the public, as it will maximize the chances of the defendant(s) becoming aware of the lawsuit. The content of the summons should include all pertinent information related to the case, such as the case name, case number, court where the case is pending, the plaintiff's name, and a brief description of the lawsuit. It should also clearly state that the defendant(s) must respond to the summons within the time period specified by the court, typically 20 or 30 days from the last date of publication. If there are any specific requirements or protocols that need to be followed in West Virginia when issuing a summons by publication, please provide me with the necessary information and guidance. I am committed to following all the proper procedures to ensure the validity of this method of service. I am enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your convenience in responding to this request. Additionally, please advise me of any fees associated with the issuance of the summons by publication, and provide instructions on how to submit payment if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the court will grant this request for the issuance of a summons by publication, ensuring that the defendant(s) receive the necessary notice and an opportunity to respond to the pending legal proceedings. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone number] [Email address] Keywords: West Virginia, sample letter, request, issue, summons, publication, West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4(d)(3), defendant(s), case, court, service, notice, lawsuit, newspaper circulation, plaintiff, protocol.
