FAQ
What happens next? If we filed the motion to strike in a trial court, then we will set the motion to be heard by a judge or magistrate, and be ruled upon. If we filed it in an appeals court, the appeals court will read the motion and offending document and will rule on it without hearing.
Unless made at trial or an evidentiary hearing, a motion to strike may be filed only if it is expressly authorized by statute or other rule, or if it seeks to strike any part of a filing or submission on the ground that it is prohibited, or not authorized, by a specific statute, rule, or court order.
If you file a motion to strike, it must be in a stand-alone pleading that cannot exceed two pages. A response is due within five days, and the response also cannot exceed two-pages. Do not file a reply unless one is ordered. A motion to strike does not extend the deadline to file a responsive pleading.
File a response to the motion to strike. In your response, you should argue that your answer to the defendant's motion for summary judgment was not too long and that it added new information to the case. You should also argue that the defendant's motion to strike should be denied.
Grounds for a motion to strike include the following: The pleading is false; that is, untrue. The pleading is filed without the required leave of court. The form of pleading is in violation of a court order. The pleading is filed late. The pleading is barred by the statute of limitations. The pleading must be verified.
Unless made at trial or an evidentiary hearing, a motion to strike may be filed only if it is expressly authorized by statute or other rule, or if it seeks to strike any part of a filing or submission on the ground that it is prohibited, or not authorized, by a specific statute, rule, or court order.
At or after the hearing, the judge will make a decision on your motion. The judge might write an order on your motion herself. Or she might direct one of the parties to prepare the order for her signature.
Q5: What Happens if a Motion to Strike is Granted? If granted, the court will order the removal of the specified parts from the pleading. This can lead to a narrowing of the issues in the case or, in some instances, weaken the opposing party's position significantly.
