No. However, the Plaintiff will be awarded a judgment against you for the full amount the Plaintiff requested. Once the Plaintiff gets a judgment against you, you may be required to come to court and tell the Plaintiff everything you own. In that case, if you do not appear, an arrest warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Of course not- but you WILL be called and asked for a reason for your absence as well as for whether you would want to serve on a jury later.
