INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET
To Plaintiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) in a civil case, you must
complete and file, along with your first paper, the Civii Case Cover Sheet contained on page 1. This information will be used to compile
statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1, you must check
one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits boih a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1,
check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action.
To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided below. A cover
sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party,
its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court.
To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money
owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $ 25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in
which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1) tort
damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of
attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general
time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections
case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.
To Parties in Complex Cases. In complex cases only, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the
case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by
completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the
complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the
plaintiff's designation, a counter-designation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that

Courtrnfo. c a. go p CM-010 INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET To Plaintiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) in a civil case, you must complete and file, along with your first paper, the Civii Case Cover Sheet contained on page 1. This information will be used to compile statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1, you must check one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits boih a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1, check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action. To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided below. A cover sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party, its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court. To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $ 25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1) tort damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740. To Parties in Complex Cases. In complex cases only, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the plaintiff's designation, a counter-designation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that CASE TYPES AND EXAMPLES Auto Tort Contract Provisionally Complex Civil Litigation {Cal Auto (22)-Personal Injury/Property Breach of Contract/Warranty (06) Rules of Court Rules 3.400— 3.403) Damage/Wrongful Death Breach of Rental/Lease Antitrust/Trade Regulation (03) Uninsured Motorist (46) (if the Contract (not unlawful detainer Construction Defect (10) case involves an uninsured or wrongful eviction) Claims Involving Mass Tort (40) motorist claim subject to Contract/Warranty Breach— Seller Securities Litigation (28) arbitration, check this item Plaintiff (not fraud or negligence) Environmental/Toxic Tort (30) instead of Auto) Negligent Breach of Contract/ Insurance Coverage Claims Other Pl/PD/WD {Personal injury/ Warranty (arising from provisionally complex Property Damage/Wrongful Death) Other Breach of Contract/Warranty case type listed above) (41) Tort Collections (e.g., money owed, open Enforcement of Judgment Asbestos (04) book accounts) (09) Enforcement of Judgment (20) Asbestos Property Damage Collection Case—Seller Plaintiff Abstract of Judgment (Out of Asbestos Personal Injury/ Other Promissory Note/Collections County) Wrongful Death Case Confession of Judgment (non- Product Liability (not asbestos or Insurance Coverage (not provisionally domestic relations) toxi cFenvi ronmental) (24) complex) (18) Sister State Judgment Medical Malpractice (45) Auto Subrogation Administrative Agency Award Medical Malpractice- Other Coverage (not unpaid taxes) Physicians L Surgeons Other Contract (37) Petition/Certification of Entry of Other Professional Health Care Contractual Fraud Judgment on Unpaid Taxes Malpractice Other Contract Dispute Other Enforcement of Judgment Other Pl/PD/WD (23) Real Property Case Premises Liability (e.g., slip Eminent Domain/Inverse Miscellaneous Civil Complaint and fall) Condemnation (14) RICO (27) Intentional Bodily Injury/PD/WD Wrongful Eviction (33) Other Complaint (not specified (e.g., assault, vandalism) Other Real Property (e.g., quiet title) (26) above) (42) Intentional Infliction of Writ of Possession of Real Property Declaratory Relief Only Emotional Distress Injunctive Relief Only (non- Mortgage Foreclosure Negligent Infliction of Quiet Title harassment) Emotional Distress Other Real Property (not eminent Mechanics Lien Other Pl/PD/WD domain, /and/orditenant, or Other Commercial Complaint Non-Pl/PD/WD (Other) Tort foreclosure) Case (non-tortFnon-comp/ex) Business Tort/Unfair Business Unlawful Detainer Other Ot e C Com laint Civilil Complaint Commercial (31) (non-tort/non-comp/ex) Miscellaneous Civil Petition Residential (32) Partnership and Corporate Drugs (38) (if the case involves illegal Governance {21) drugs, check this item; otherwise, Other Petition (not specified report as Commercial or Residential) above) (43) Judicial Review Civil Harassment Fraudd (16) F 16 Asset Forfeiture (05) Intellectual Property (19) Workplace Violence Petition Re: Arbitration Award (11) Elder/Dependent Adult Professional Negligence (25) Writ of Mandate (02) Legal Malpractice Abuse Writ—Administrative Mandamus Other Professional Malpractice Election Contest Writ— Mandamus on Limited Court Petition for Name Change (not medical or legal) Case Matter Other Non-Pl/PD/WD Tort (35) Petition for Relief From Late Writ— Other Limited Court Case Claim Employment Review Wron f T Wrongful Termination t Other Civil Petition I {36 {36) Other Judicial Review (39) Other Employment (15) Review of Health Officer Order Notice of Appeal — Labor Commissiorier A eals CM-010 [Rev.
