If at least one attempt at service is made on the Complaint, and the service is not perfected, the Plaintiff must petition for alternative service of the Complaint, unless Plaintiff is able to reinstate the complaint (if necessary) and perfect service or suffer dismissal of the action.
Following the filing of the Complaint and perfected service, the Court by Order will schedule the case for a conciliation conference. See ATTACHMENT "C" There are preset dates set for these conferences monthly.

If the Plaintiff fails to appear at the conciliation conference with the required documentation, the court may dismiss the case with prejudice. A Continuance on the day of the Conference is discouraged. See ATTACHMENT "A"
