Description

The Motion to Appoint a Special Process Server is a document used in civil court proceedings in Louisiana, enabling a defendant's attorney to request the court's approval to appoint a special process server. This is particularly useful when the local sheriff's office is unable to serve subpoenas within the required time frame. The form includes sections to specify the details of the case, including the civil action number, involved parties, and witness names. Attorneys for defendants can utilize this form to ensure timely service and avoid delays in legal proceedings. The order section allows the court to officially designate a qualified person as a special process server, who must be a non-party and at least of legal age. Following the judge's signature, a certificate confirms that all opposing counsel received notice of the motion. This form serves as a crucial tool for attorneys, partners, and legal staff to facilitate efficient communication and procedural adherence in litigation. Legal assistants and paralegals can fill out and file the form under the guidance of attorneys, making it easy to understand and implement.
