Overview. During a civil case, most of your interactions with the judge will be the result of you or the other side filing a written motion. A “motion” is a written request to the judge that asks for a ruling on some issue in the case.
This court rule is essential because if the judge grants the motion for summary judgment, the court makes decisions about the facts of the case at trial. It produces a resolution without oral arguments. If the court denies the motion, the judge or jury resolves the factual dispute.
The court may grant a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege all the elements of a claim adequately. Or the court may grant it if the complaint fails to allege a measurable injury.
A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony.
