What is wrong with this affidavit opening paragraph?
It seems like the opening paragraph of the affidavit is incorrectly structured. Here are a few points that could be improved:
- The paragraph doesn't introduce the affiant (the person making the affidavit) or their connection to the case.
- It starts with a specific date and event without context or introduction.
- The paragraph should clearly state the purpose of the affidavit.
- There is a grammatical mistake: "was" should be "were" in "Below are the questions that was asked."
You might want to restructure it to clearly identify the affiant, the purpose, and provide context before diving into specific events.

Well, first off, all affidavits and filings are stamped with the date, time and the name of the clerk of court, each stamp is initialed with blue inked pen. Also, each fillings case number is writted in blue inked pen as well. Every filing is correct to the procedure except for my summons. The summons lacks the initials on the stamp and the handwritten case number. What could this mean?
