Civil Procedure

Rule 65.1 – Proceedings Against Surety

When these rules (including Rule 65 and any other relating to security) require or allow a party to give security, and security is given through a bond or other undertaking with one or more sureties, each surety submits to the court’s jurisdiction and irrevocably appoints the clerk as its agent for receiving service of any papers that affect its liability on the bond or undertaking. The surety’s liability may be enforced on motion without an independent action. The motion and any notice that the court orders may be served on the clerk, who must promptly mail or otherwise distribute a copy of each to every surety whose address is known.
