theuniverse Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hello, I'm about to file an Answer to a Complaint and a Motion to Compel. Now my question is, can I mail and serve all documents in the same envelope? and after I serve those two documents, can I file just one Affidavit of service for all documents or do I need to file an Affidavit of Service for each individual document? (example, one for the Answer, and another one for the Motion to Compel).Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellieh98 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 What are you compelling?You need one for each item you say you served.I would send them separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuniverse Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Compelling for Private Arbitration.I can serve them (mail them) myself right? it doesn't have to be a third party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellieh98 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I do not know, here I can mail them, but California someone else has to. You will have to look that up in your rules of civil procedure for NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuniverse Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 great thanks for replying. Also for the Motion to Compel I have some exhibits, I can just attach the exhibits with the Motion Right? or do I need to serve the Exhibits separately?

theuniverse Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Also, do I need to serve the Motion To Compel first before I file it to the court? or I can just file it first and then mail it?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Savoir Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 great thanks for replying. Also for the Motion to Compel I have some exhibits, I can just attach the exhibits with the Motion Right? or do I need to serve the Exhibits separately? In most states the exhibits to a motion are a part of the motion and do not require separate service. Also, do I need to serve the Motion To Compel first before I file it to the court? or I can just file it first and then mail it?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, in most states, it is irrelevant as to which you do first as long as it is within a reasonable time frame.In MI.. I file with the court and then mail it to plaintiff the same day.YMMV depending on your RCP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuniverse Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 @Savoir Thanks Savoir, you've been very helpful. I have one more question I hope you can answer, I have an Affidavit to make one of my Exhibits (credit Card Agreement) a fact before the court, does that also go attached to the Motion or separately?Thanks again.

theuniverse Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 oh, and one more thing, the Verification by Affidavit that gets stamped by a Notary should go way at the end of the Motion right? last page behind all Exhibits?

I don't know your RCP's but, if it were me and I wasn't sure, I'd mail it all to the plaintiff's attorney of record and just include a certificate of service for your affidavit of fact. oh, and one more thing, the Verification by Affidavit that gets stamped by a Notary should go way at the end of the Motion right? last page behind all Exhibits? Correct ....... at least logically so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
