FAQ
When you respond to a motion, be clear and direct about your legal position. Begin with an introduction that summarizes the nature of the motion and states your position. Develop key points to answer every argument your opponent made. Then, present your arguments in a logical sequence.
You can either answer the summons in writing or in person. If you answer in person, you must go to the courthouse clerk's office and tell the clerk about your defenses to the plaintiff's claims. The clerk will check off the boxes in a Consumer Credit Transaction Answer In Person form.
In some courts, the pleading is called a petition. Every case starts with someone filing papers with a court. The person starting the case is called the plaintiff or petitioner. The person filing the pleading asks the other side to submit an answer.
Responding papers are due two days before the motion date. If the motion is served sixteen days in advance instead of eight, then answering papers or a cross motion must be served seven days before the motion date. Any reply is due two days before the return date.
Unless otherwise ordered by the judge or specified in the judge's individual rules of practice, opposition to most motions must be filed within 14 calendar days after you are served with the motion papers.
A motion may be withdrawn at any time prior to its return date by filing with the clerk a written request signed by counsel for the moving party.
The written response must be made within 20 days of personal service, or within 30 days of the time when service by any other means is complete. If the defendant fails to respond he or she is in default and plaintiff may be able to obtain a default judgment against the defendant.
Respond to each of the Defendant's arguments – A defendant usually makes several points in the “Argument” section of its Motion to Dismiss. You should respond to each point. Most Memoranda cannot be longer than 15 pages (excluding title page).
There are several types of pleadings in civil litigation. These include complaints, which serve as the basis of the legal action, and answers, which are the responses to the complaints.
Pleadings can be categorized as complaints or answers, though both have variations. A party filing a complaint is the complaining party, while the other side is the responding party. Pleadings set forth parties' positions in the action, such as allegations, claims, defenses and denials.
