The summons was issued by Florida’s Southern District Court on January 15 and is valid for service within 100 days of that date
The summons, once served, will require McGregor to respond to a claim he attempted to sexually assault a woman in a restroom in the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on June 9 and 10, 2023.
The summons was issued by Florida’s Southern District Court on January 15 and is valid for service within 100 days of that date.
In the event the summons is not served within the 100-day deadline, an extension must be sought by the woman’s lawyers.

It’s understood Florida-based lawyer James R. Dunn, who represents McGregor’s accuser, forwarded the summons to the Central Office of the High Court earlier this year.
An agreement under The Hague Convention allows for a civil summons issued by a US court to be served by agents in this country once instructed by Ireland’s Court Service.
It’s understood an Irish court official has since confirmed receipt of the summons and has instructed agents in this country to carry out service on McGregor.
Contacted this week, Mr Dunn said he could not comment on the legal proceedings at this time.
Once service of the summons is carried out, McGregor will have 21 days to respond to the allegations of sexual battery made against him in Florida.
The US lawsuit follows on from the recent civil rape case taken against McGregor by Nikita Hand, which he lost.
The US case alleges McGregor sexually assaulted a woman, identified as Jane Doe, on June 9, 2023, as the Miami Heat played the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The complaint alleges that at the end of the game, McGregor engaged in amicable conversation with Jane Doe while Kaseya Center staff and security provided the fighter with access to one or more bottles of Proper 12 Irish Whiskey and Tequila.
The complaint states, it was allegedly at this stage: “Jane Doe’s acquaintance stated ‘we are leaving,’ and, Conor Anthony McGregor’s private security or a friend of Conor Anthony McGregor stated, ‘Conor told me to come get you,’ and grabbed Jane Doe’s wrist and led Jane Doe and the acquaintance toward the exit of the Courtside club.
“Before leaving the Courtside Club, Conor Anthony McGregor’s friend or security stopped at the entrance to the men’s bathroom.
“Jane Doe requested of the friend to let go of her wrist and he said, ‘No, Conor will kill me if I lose you’.
“Conor Anthony McGregor then exited the men’s bathroom and grabbed Jane Doe’s hand or wrist and led her into the men’s restroom with her acquaintance to follow.”
The complaint continues: “At that point Conor Anthony McGregor led Jane Doe to the stall, but Kaseya Center Staff and Security would not let Jane Doe’s acquaintance into the stall.
“The loud DJ music in the Courtside club and in the bathroom, area made communicating difficult.

The complaint also alleges that while Jane Doe was using the toilet, McGregor “appeared to Jane Doe to be under the influence of intoxicants and out of control” and that he attempted to force her into oral sex.
“Thereafter, Jane Doe pulled her pants up and stood up and attempted to exit the stall,” the complaint states.
The filed legal papers then claim the UFC fighter “slammed Jane Doe against the wall face first and put Jane Doe in an arm lock” before allegedly attempting to “forcefully” have anal sex with her.
“Jane Doe returned to the Courtside club as she was waiting on her acquaintance to leave the venue.”
The document continues that McGregor “intentionally engaged in unlawful sexual contact” and it states she is seeking in excess of the jurisdictional threshold of the court of $75,000.
It also says the identity of the complainant, referred to in the complaint as ‘Jane Doe,’ “is known to McGregor; however, she wishes to maintain her anonymity … to avoid embarrassment and shame from the conduct discussed in this complaint”.
The legal complaint describes her as being “49 years old, and employed as a Senior Wall Street vice president at a high-profile financial institution”.
The allegations against McGregor were investigated by police at the time and the Miami-Dade State Attorney declined to press charges against McGregor, who said the allegations were false.
Police said they spoke to witnesses who said Jane Doe didn’t show “signs of distress” and seemed “fine,” with the head of security stating that she went back to her seat and continued socialising with McGregor.
McGregor’s attorney, Barbara Llanes, previously dismissed the complaint, saying: “After a thorough investigation at the time, the State’s Attorney concluded there was no case to pursue.
“Almost two years and at least three lawyers later the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case too will be dismissed.”
