Grounds for filing a motion to dismiss Inadequate service of process: The summons and complaint may not have been appropriately served on the defendant. Statute of limitations: If the statute of limitations for any of the claims in the complaint has expired, a motion to dismiss is appropriate.
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 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.
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.
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.
Writing a Persuasive Motion to Dismiss Be Clear and Concise: Use straightforward language and be diligent with proofreading. Stay Focused on the Legal Issues: Avoid unnecessary details and stick to the relevant legal arguments. Support Every Claim: Use statutes, case law, and rules of procedure to back up your points.
These include dismissals for: (b)(1) a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (b)(2) a lack of personal jurisdiction. (b)(3) improper venue.
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 to Dismiss is often filed by the defendant right after the plaintiff serves the defendant with the complaint. Many of the reasons for dismissing a case may be argued only at the beginning of the case before the defendant's answer to the complaint or any other motion.
