No, the defendant does not make the allegations in the complaint. The plaintiff makes the allegations. The Defendant answers or responds to each of them by either admitting or denying them or by saying neither admitting nor denying but leaving plaintiff to its proofs.

Do you have a sample answer letter for a civil summons for a lawsuit?
There is no sample "answer letter for a civil summons", because an Answer, as a pleading is governed by the rules of the court in which the Answer is filed. The exact form of an Answer could be different in each of the 50 state and federal court systems. Also, to be precise, one answers the allegations in the complaint, as opposed to the summons which makes no allegations against the defendant. Nevertheless a guide to answering a civil complaint is to reply to each numbered allegation one by one. Your reply will say either that you admit or deny the allegations in each paragraph x. If there are allegations where you are not certain whether to admit or deny based on the facts, you would reply that you neither admit nor deny the allegations in paragraph x, but leave plaintiff to its proofs. Generally, you must use separate paragraphs corresponding to the paragraphs in the complaint. One is not supposed to make a general denial where a defendant writes that he denies all of the allegations of the complaint.
What does motion and request for default mean?
A plaintiff starts a lawsuit by filing a complaint and serving the complaint and summons on the defendant (or defendants). If the defendant does not answer the complaint or otherwise respond to the suit, the plaintiff make request a "default judgment." This means, more or less, "the defendant has not responded and the court should therefore grant what I sought in the complaint." Usually, a default judgment will be restricted to the relief sought in the complaint and will be restricted to amounts that are reasonably calculable. For example, say somebody hit you with their car, and you sued for $100,000 in medical bill. If the defendant ignores the lawsuit, the plaintiff will request a default judgment, and the court will likely grant them a $100,000 judgment. The plaintiff will then take the judgment to (most often) the county sheriff's department, which will then seize a defendants property to be sold to pay the judgment; or plaintiff can seek other remedies, like garnishment of wages. Lesson: don't ignore lawsuits. That's how you lose for sure.

Is it legal in a criminal action against a defendant to procure an arrest warrant and complaint based on the same charges defendant was already arrested posted bail and arraigment pending?
The way the question is worded it is obvious the questioner wants to make a case that the defendant is being placed in a "double jeapordy" situation, which is unconstitutional. There is this possibility - if the defendant committed the same offense against more than just one individual/complainant, each offense can be charged as a separate and distinct incident.

What is a motion for summary judgment used for?
A motion for summary judgment asks the judge to dismiss the claims before the court.
