4. Condemnation Procedures—Filing and Serving
Complaints—Materials to be Secured From Acquiring Agency By United
States
Upon the receipt of a request to institute condemnation
proceedings, the U.S. Attorney shall request the following from the
local office of the acquiring agency:
- A check for the amount of the estimated compensation, in those
cases where a declaration of taking is to be filed, if a check was
not transmitted with the request to institute the proceedings;
- A sufficient number of copies of the property description of
the condemned land;
- If the description of the estate condemned is lengthy, a
sufficient number of copies of the description (this often is
desirable in easement cases); and
- Such title evidence as is presently available. (See USAM 5-15.530.)
This description of the estate and of the land condemned,
referred to in B and C above, may be attached as exhibits to and
incorporated as a part of the complaint, the notice of
condemnation, and other orders and pleadings, where deemed
necessary, in order to avoid the necessity of retyping such
descriptions, with consequent chance for error. These descriptions
usually will be mimeographed upon request to the acquiring
agency.
