Local Rule LR11-208. Service of process by publication; notice of pendency of action.

[Related Statewide Rule 1-004 NMRA] The notice of pendency of action to accomplish service of process by publication is not required to be issued by the court clerk and need only contain the information required by Rule 1-004(K) NMRA. The notice of pendency of action shall not include a signature line for the court clerk or the judge and shall not be presented to the court clerk for issuance. The notice of pendency of action is ready for publication on the court’s order for service of process by publication, the notice having been submitted to the court with the motion and necessarily approved when the motion is granted. A copy of the notice of pendency of action should be kept for use in publishing the notice once publication is ordered by the court.
