FAQ
Either side in a case can file a motion. In some instances, a non-party may file a motion (for example, a motion to quash a subpoena issued in the case). Motions are electronically filed (e-file) with the court clerk where your case is being heard and are decided by a judge at a motion hearing.
The 2-615 motions attack defects appearing on the face of the plead- ings. They have two basic require- ments. The first requirement is the motion must specifically point out the defect complained of. The sec- ond requirement is the motion must ask for the appropriate relief.
A demurrer is a challenge to a particular claim that is made in court. A motion to dismiss is when a request is made to drop a court case. A demurrer or a motion to dismiss can be made on various grounds.

A “motion to dismiss” is typically filed in response to a complaint and is made in lieu of filing an “answer.” Technically, a plaintiff can move to “strike” a defense that a defendant has pled, given that defenses are subject to the same pleading requirements as are the plaintiff's claims.
The primary purpose of a motion to strike is to clean up the pleadings by eliminating irrelevant, redundant, or legally insufficient parts. This helps in focusing the litigation on the substantive issues, thereby streamlining the legal process.
Steps Check if the court has blank motion forms. Some courts have "check the boxes" or "fill in the blank" motion forms. Create your caption. Title your motion. Draft the introductory paragraph to the body of the motion. Request relief. Lay out the applicable facts. Make your legal argument. Insert a signature block.
A motion focused on an already-filed report or disclosure is usually framed as a motion to strike, while motions to keep things from trial or from consideration on summary judgment are usually motions in limine or motions to exclude. Follow local practice on how to label the motion.
