First Judicial Circuit. Check the order's own effective and rescission dates before relying on it. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • As prescribed in Administrative Order 2021-12, service of civil complaints must still be made within 120 days after the filing of said complaint unless the presiding judge grants -- 1 of 2 -- an extension.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: d4e73da7b0c8411c5e83e0b8bfd98a15871107d11fca04943a8cda330f9b461d (16022 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it.
