General Civil Case Cover Sheet - Preparation Worksheet - Maryland

MARYLAND CIVIL NON-DOMESTIC CASE INFORMATION REPORT WORKSHEET

Do not file this worksheet in place of the official form. Use the Maryland Judiciary's current Civil – Non-Domestic Case Information Report, Form CC-DCM-002 (Rev. 03/2026). The official form states that a plaintiff must complete and attach it to the complaint unless the case is exempt under Md. Rule 2-111(a), and that a defendant files an information report under Md. Rule 2-323(h). The report is not a pleading.
