SUMMONS
STATE OF FLORIDA - NOTICE TO PLAINTIFF(S) AND DEFENDANTS(S), SIERRA BERMUDEZ, 2325 SE
BREKENRIDGE CIR, PORT SAINT LUCIE FL 34952-8111
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that you are required to appear in person or by attorney at the ST LUCIE County
Courthouse in Courtroom # ________, located at 250 NW COUNTRY CLUB DR, PORT ST LUCIE, FL 34986 on
____________ at _________, for a PRETRIAL CONFERENCE before a judge of this court
IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY
THE CASE WILL NOT BE TRIED AT THAT TIME.
DO NOT BRING WITNESSES — APPEAR IN PERSON OR BY ATTORNEY
The defendant(s) must appear in court on the date specified in order to avoid a default judgment. The plaintiff(s)
must appear to avoid having the case dismissed for lack of prosecution. A written MOTION or ANSWER to the court by
the plaintiff(s) or the defendant(s) shall not excuse the personal appearance of a party or its attorney in the PRETRIAL
CONFERENCE. The date and time of the pretrial conference CANNOT be rescheduled without good cause and prior
court approval.
A corporation may be represented at any stage of the trial court proceedings by an officer of the corporation or any
employee authorized in writing by an officer of the corporation. Written authorization must be brought to the Pretrial
Conference.
The purpose of the pretrial conference is to record your appearance, to determine if you admit all or part of the claim,
to enable the court to determine the nature of the case, and to set the case for trial if the case cannot be resolved at the
pretrial conference. You or your attorney should be prepared to confer with the court and to explain briefly the nature of
your dispute, state what efforts have been made to settle the dispute, exhibit any documents necessary to prove the case,
state the names and addresses of your witnesses, stipulate to the facts that will require no proof and will expedite the trial
and estimate how long it will take to try the case.
Mediation may take place at the pretrial conference. Whoever appears for a party must have full authority to settle.
Failure to have full authority to settle at this pretrial conference may result in the imposition of costs and attorney fees
incurred by the opposing party.
If you admit the claim, but desire additional time to pay, you must come and state the circumstances to the court. The
court may or may not approve a payment plan and withhold judgment or execution or levy.
RIGHT TO VENUE. The law gives the person or company who has sued you the right to file in any one of several
places as listed below. However, if you have been sued in any place other than one of these places, you, as the
defendant(s), have the right to request that the case be moved to a proper location or venue. A proper location or
venue may be one of the following: (1) where the contract was entered into; (2) if the suit is on an unsecured
promissory note, where the note is signed or where the maker resides; (3) if the suit is to recover property or to
foreclose a lien, where the property is located; (4) where the event giving rise to the suit occurred; (5) where any
one or more of the defendants sued reside; (6) any location agreed to in a contract; (7) in an action for money due,
if there is not agreement as to where suit may be filed where payment is to be made.
If you, as the defendant(s), believe the plaintiff(s) has/have not sued in one of these correct places, you must appear
on your court date and orally request a transfer, or you must file a WRITTEN request for transfer in affidavit form (sworn
to under oath) with the court 7 days prior to the first court date and send a copy to the plaintiff(s) or plaintiff’s (s’)
attorney, if any.
