	Summons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As such, the summons is the true descendant of the writ of the common law.
		The federal summons is usually issued by the Clerk of the Court, in many states the summons may be issued by an attorney, though some states use filing as the means to commence an action and the summons must be filed in those cases in order to be effective.
		A citation or notice to appear is a type of summons prepared and served at the scene of the occurrence by a law enforcement official, compelling the appearance of a defendant before the local magistrate within a certain period of time to answer for a minor traffic infraction or misdemeanor or other summary offence.

		Therefore, where the trial court erroneously concluded that it had no authority to extend the time for service of the summons, the cause must be remanded to the trial court for a ruling on plaintiff's motion to extend the time for service of the original summons.
		The court further found that the summonses became dormant and unserveable when they were not served within the thirty-day period following their issuance, and that neither an endorsement nor an alias and pluries summons was issued within ninety days after the 31 July filing date of the original complaint and summonses.
		The court agreed that Lemons held that a court may permit an extension of time to serve a dormant summons and thus revive it, but that the discretion allowed by Lemons did not apply where the defendant was not served within the time allowed by Rule 4(e).

		The jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C. Whether, in the course of an action brought by the Internal Revenue Service to enforce a summons, the court may place restrictions on the disclosure of the summoned information.
		The court of appeals in Zolin stated unequivocally that the rule in the Ninth Circuit is that "(a) district court may, when appropriate, condition enforcement of a summons on the IRS's agreeing to abide by disclosure restrictions" (809 F.2d at 1417).
		Allowing the district court to monitor the IRS's use of the summoned documents and allowing the parties in summons enforcement proceedings to litigate the question whether conditions should be imposed would inject substantial delays into the process that will severely impair the summary nature of summons enforcement proceedings.
