Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- List each document, its date, and the Rule C step it corresponds to if the document already says so. Offer no strategy.
- What the lawyer must review
- Supplemental Rule C requires a verified complaint, court review before a warrant except in the exigent path, and, if the property is not released within 14 days after execution, public notice that states the time under Rule C(6) to file a statement of interest and to answer. A person who asserts a right of possession or an ownership interest files a verified statement within 14 days after execution, or within the time the court allows, and serves an answer within 21 days after filing the statement. The index records the file. You decide what to file. 28 USC section 1333 is the jurisdiction heading.
