What is the name of your state? Florida
My name is Oscar Washington I'm doing my case Pro Se. I just have a question If your suing a government agency such as the Sheriff Department or DCF, do I have to give notice to the United States Attorney, is it talking about their (agency/officer) attorney? I sent out summons to the defendants which the court approved to the agency and officers to answer in 20 days. Here it states,
(A) The United States, an agency of the United States, or an officer or employee of the United States sued in an official capacity, shall serve an answer to the complaint or cross-claim - or a reply to a counterclaim - within 60 days after the United States attorney is served with the pleading asserting the claim.
Questions
1. Is paragraph (A) talking about the agency/officers attorneys? if not, which United States attorney is it referring to?
2. Do they have more then 20 days in which to answer me?
3. Why did the courts OK my summons to them for 20 days if they are allowed 60 to answer? I am suing them in their individual and official capacity.
I'm asking these questions because the 20 days is up and they have not answered.
If you can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
