I got a jury notice last week but on the envelope it only said “US District Court” and I had sudden chest-constricting panic at what have I forgotten to file or pay, and how much trouble am I in. Until I realized it wasn’t sent certified, and I’m not in fact being subpoenaed.
I had this once with a letter that a bailiff had visited me in absence for something I supposedly hadn’t payed.
I was sweating buckets before I even noticed that only the last name was mine and they had gotten the wrong address.
