PARTY IN INTEREST
ORDER FOR ALTERNATE SERVICE AND SERVICE BY PUBLICATION
On Motion of the Plaintiff for Alternate Service and Service by Publication of the Complaint for Foreclosure on the Defendant pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 4(g), it appears that this is an action to foreclose mortgages from Cynthia B. Sharon dated August 2, 1988 and August 31, 1989 and recorded in the Lincoln County Registry of Deeds in Book 1491 Page 283 and Book 1572 Page 133 respectively on premises located at 98 Eastern Avenue, Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
It further appears, and the Court so finds, that personal service of the Complaint cannot be made upon the Defendant any other way inasmuch as her present whereabouts is unknown and cannot with reasonable diligence be established, it is hereby ORDERED that service be made upon the Defendant by leaving a copy of the Summons and Complaint at the subject premises of the foreclosure and by forwarding a copy of the summons and complaint by regular mail with proof of mailing and in addition by publishing this Order once a week for three consecutive weeks in the Lincoln County News, a newspaper of general circulation in Lincoln County. The first publication shall be made within twenty (20) days after the Order is granted. Service by publication shall be complete on the twenty-first day after the first publication. Within twenty (20) days after service is complete by the foregoing method, the Defendant shall appear and defend this action by filing an answer with the Clerk of the Maine District Court, P. O. Box 249, Wiscasset ME 04578 and by serving a copy of the answer on Plaintiff’s attorney, Richard H. Broderick, Jr., Esq., at P. O. Box 5, Lincoln, Maine 04457. If she fails to do so a judgment by default will be rendered against her for the relief demanded in the Complaint.
IMPORTANT WARNING: IF YOU FAIL TO FILE AN ANSWER WITHIN THE TIME STATED ABOVE, OR IF AFTER YOU FILE YOUR ANSWER YOU FAIL TO APPEAR AT ANY TIME THE COURT NOTIFIES YOU TO DO SO, A JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST YOU IN YOUR ABSENCE FOR THE RELIEF DEMANDED WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIME. IF YOU INTEND TO OPPOSE THIS LAWSUIT, DO NOT FAIL TO ANSWER WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIME.
If you believe the Plaintiff is not entitled to all or part of the claim set forth in the Complaint or if you believe you have a claim of your own against the Plaintiff, you should talk to a lawyer. You may ask the office of the Clerk of the Maine District Court for information as to places where you may seek legal assistance.
