Best Answer

You draft a law suit that falls under federal court jurisdiction. You make the appropriate number of copies and attach the appropriate exhibits. You take it to the clerk's office in the appropriate federal court with the appropriate filing fee and have it filed, and then you have it served on the defendants.

You may also be able to file it online rather than file in person in most districts.
