INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTORNEYS COMPLETING CIVIL COVER SHEET FORM J S-44 —
Authority For Civil Cover Sheet
The J S-44 civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service of pleading or
other papers as required by law, except as provided by local rules of court. This fonn, approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States
in September 1974, is required for the use of the Clerk of Court for the purpose of initiating the civil docket sheet. Consequently a civil cover
sheet is submitted to the Clerk of Court for each civil complaint filed. The attomey filing a case should complete the form as follows:
I. (a) Plaintiffs - Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a govemment
agency, use only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a govemment agency, identify first the
agency and then the official, giving both name and title.
(b) County of Residence. For each civil case filed, except U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county where the first listed plaintiff
resides at the time of filing. In U.S. plaintiff` cases, enter the name of the county in which the first listed defendant resides at the time of filing.
(NOTE: In land condemnation cases, the county of residence of the "defendant" is the location of the tract of land involved.)
(c) Attomeys. Enter the firm name, address, telephone number, and attomey of record. If there are several attomeys, list them on an
attachment, noting in this section "(see attachment)".
II. Jurisdiction. The basis ofjurisdiction is set forth under Rule 8(a). F.R.C.P., which requires that jurisdictions be shown in pleadings. Place
an "X" in one of the boxes. If there is more than onebasis of jurisdiction, precedence is given in the order shown below.
United States plaintiff (1) Jurisdiction based on 28 U.S.C. 1345 and 1348. Suits by agencies and ofiicers ofthe United States are included here.
United States defendant. (2) When the plaintiff is suing the United States, its officers or agencies, place an "X" in this box.
Federal question. (3) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1331, where jurisdiction arises under the Constitution of the United States, an
amendment to the Constitution, an act of Congress or a treaty ofthe United States. In cases where the U.S. is a party, the U.S. plaintif`f or
defendant code takes precedence, and box 1 or 2 should be marked.
Diversity of citizenship. (4) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1332, where parties are citizens of different states. When Box 4 is checked, the
citizenship of the different parties must be checked. (See Section III below; federal question actions take precedence over diversity cases.)
III. Residence (citizenship) of Principal Parties. This section of the J S-44 is to be completed if diversity of citizenship was indicated above.
Mark this section for each principal party. ·
IV. Origin. Place an "X" in one ofthe seven boxes.
Original Proceedings. (1) Cases which originate in the United States district courts.
Removed from State Court. (2) Proceedings initiated in state courts may be removed to the district courts under Title 28 U.S.C., Section 1441.
When the petition for removal is granted, check this box.
Remanded from Appellate Court. (3) Check this box for cases remanded to the district court for further action. Use the date of remand as the
filing date.
Reinstated or Reopened. (4) Check this box for cases reinstated or reopened in the district court. Use the reopening date as the filing date.

multidistrict litigation transfers.
Multidistrict Litigation. (6) Check this box when a multidistrict case is transferred into the district under authority of Title 28 U.S.C. Section
1407. When this box is checked, do not check (5) above.
Appeal to District Judge from Magistrate Judgment. (7) Check this box for an appeal from a magistratejudge's decision.
V. Nature of Suit. Place an "X" in the appropriate box. If the nature of suit cannot be determined, be sure the cause of action, in Section IV
above, is sufficient to enable the deputy clerk or the statistical clerks in the Administrative Office to determine the nature of suit. If the cause fits
more than one nature of suit, select the most definitive.
VI. Cause of Action. Report the civil statute directly related to the cause of action and give a brief description ofthe cause.
VII. Requested in Complaint. Class Action. Place an "X" in this box if you are filing a class action under Rule 23, F.R.Cv.P.

injunction.
Jury Demand. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether or not a jury is being demanded.
