file a written response to the attached complaint with the clerk of this court. A phone call will not protect
you. Your written response, including the case number given above and the names of the parties, must be
filed if you want the court to hear your side of the case. If you do not file your response on time, you may
lose the case, and your wages, money, and property may thereafter be taken without further warning from
the court. There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not
know an attorney, you may call an attorney referral service or a legal aid office (listed in the phone book).
Tf you choose to file a written response yourself, at the same time you file your written response to the
court you must also mail or take a copy of your written response to the “Plaintiff/Plaintiff's Attorney”
