Civil Cover Sheet

W.D.N.Y. RULE 3

A completed civil cover sheet on a form available on the Court’s website, http://www.nywd.uscourts.gov, or from the Clerk’s Office, shall be submitted with every complaint, notice of removal, or other document initiating a civil action. This requirement is solely for administrative purposes, and matters appearing on the civil cover sheet have no legal effect in the action.
