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 Civil 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 both 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 the case
is complex.
