As preliminary amendments to the specification, excluding the claims, cannot be easily published, the Office must require a substitute specification whenever an application is filed with a preliminary amendment to the specification, excluding the claims, in order to ensure that the application, including any new matter added by way of a preliminary amendment included on the filing date of the application, is published .
If an applicant initially replies within 2 months from the date of mailing of any final rejection setting a 3-month shortened statutory period for reply and the Office does not mail an advisory action until after the end of the 3-month shortened statutory period, the period for reply for purposes of determining the amount of any extension fee will be the date on which the Office mails the advisory action advising applicant of the status of the application, but in no event can the period extend beyond 6 months from the date of the final rejection. This procedure applies only to a first reply to a final rejection. The following language must be included by the examiner in each final rejection:
All amendments filed on or after July 30, 2003 must comply with 37 CFR 1.121 as revised in the notice of final rule making published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2003 at 65 FR 38611.

37 CFR 1.121 (g) permits the Office to make amendments to the specification, including the claims, by examiner’s amendments without paragraph/section/claim replacement in the interest of expediting prosecution and reducing cycle time. Additions or deletions of subject matter in the specification, including the claims, may be made by instructions to make the change at a precise location in the specification or the claims.

The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees, among other things, the right to an attorney if a person has been arrested. This right assures that the person has a fair trial. If the police wish to interrogate someone, they are required to read a suspect their Miranda Rights.
The Sixth amendment right to an attorney has been interpreted to mean that a lawyer must be present at any adversarial, critical stage of a criminal prosecution. A critical stage includes any: Interrogation. Questioning.
Although each case is different, an attorney will serve as a representative and legal translator. An attorney can, among other duties and services: Advise a person of their rights. Help formulate a defense strategy. Ensure that a person do not incriminate themselves.
If you are arrested, always ask for and insist on speaking to a criminal defense lawyer. It is your right to have one present. It would also be wise to remain silent until your lawyer arrives. If you can afford to pay for your own private attorney, or do not qualify financially for a public defender, you should start interviewing attorneys immediately.

You'll still be legally bound to pay the deficiency balance even if the property is damaged or destroyed. And because you have to wait eight years before filing another Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, you'll be stuck with that debt for a long time.
Because reaffirming a debt comes with the disadvantage of leaving you in debt after your bankruptcy case ends, you should consider it only if: 1 the creditor insists on it 2 it's the only way to keep collateral that you need, and 3 you have good reason to believe you'll be able to pay off the balance.
It's the lien interest that gives a creditor the right to repossess your vehicle if you fail to make your payment.
Likewise, if you fall behind on your mortgage, the lien will allow the lender to foreclose on your home. A bank or creditor who owns a collateralized debt has what is called a "secured debt.". If the bank seeks reimbursement in a bankruptcy case, it will file a "secured claim.".
Credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans (such as payday loans) are all examples of unsecured debt. An unsecured creditor can gain a security interest by winning a debt collection lawsuit and recording the money judgment with the local recorder's office or the appropriate state agency.
If you fall behind, the creditor has the right to demand that you make your account current before agreeing to a reaffirmation contract.
Reaffirmation provides a sure way to keep collateral as long as you abide by the terms of the reaffirmation agreement and keep up your payments. As long as you stay current on the payment, the lender won't be able to take back the property.
I agree with my colleague Ms. Prevost that your answer is confusing. I believe however that I partially understand what happened. In order to amend a criminal complaint the DA or CA must bring a motion for permission to amend before the Court.
