STATE OF WISCONSIN CIRCUIT COURT: BROWN COUNTY JITENDER BEHL and BEHLS REAL ESTATE HOLDING, INC., Plaintiffs, v. LTB SHELL LLC, LTB PROPERTY LLP, LTB 2 LLC, TIMOTHY T, BUI, and LINDA TRAN, Defendants. Case No.: 26-CV-826 Case Code: 30106 SUMMONS THE STATE OF WISCONSIN, to the persons named above as Defendants: You are hereby notified that the plaintiffs named above have filed a lawsuit or other legal action against you. Within 40 days after the first date of publication, you must respond with a written demand for a copy of the complaint. The demand must be sent or delivered to the court, whose address is Brown County Clerk of Court, 100 S. Jefferson Street, Green Bay, WI 54301 and to DeWitt LLP, Plaintiffs' attorney, whose address is 2391 Holmgren Way, Green Bay, WI 54304. You may have an attorney to help or represent you. If you do not demand a copy of the complaint within 40 days, the court may grant judgment against you for the award of money or other legal action requested in the complaint, and you may lose your right to object to anything that is or may be incorrect in the complaint. A judgment may be enforced as provided by law. A judgment awarding money may become a lien against any real estate you own now or in the future and may also be enforced by garnishment or seizure of property.

Order, 171 Wis. 2d xix (1992); 1997 a. 187, 250; 1999 a. 32, 186; 2001 a. 16; 2005 a. 442. Where service is made by publication, Wisconsin law requires the plaintiff to arrange for publication of a publication summons, the contents of which must be substantially in the form detailed in sub. (4). The complaint itself is not published of course; Wisconsin does not absurdly require publication of the entire pleading, which could fill up multiple newspaper pages. Rather, service by publication is intended to provide notice of the existence of the complaint and lawsuit. Section 801.11 (1) (c) thus requires the plaintiff to mail copies of the summons and complaint to the defendant at or immediately prior to the first publication. Colborn v. Netflix Inc., 541 F. Supp. 3d 888 (2021). That the plaintiff's publication summons in this case used the updated caption from the amended complaint was of no legal significance. Wisconsin law requires only that the publication summons be substantially in the form detailed in sub. (4). The updated caption reflected the correct state of the parties at the time of publication and service, and the defendants did not point to any confusion or prejudice they could possibly have suffered by use of an accurate caption, which included each of them, while omitting other persons no longer being pursued in the litigation.
