This type of motion is typically made when the outcome of the case depends on the court's interpretation of the law. Example: In a lawsuit involving a breach of contract, the defendant may file a motion for judgment on the pleadings if they believe that the plaintiff has failed to state a valid claim.
Default Judgment: Rendered when a defendant fails to respond, awarding relief based on the plaintiff's claims. Summary Judgment: Issued when there's no genuine dispute on material facts, allowing the court to rule without a full trial.
A motion for judgment on the pleadings will occur before the trial and, unlike a motion for summary judgment, does not concern any matters other than what is contained within the pleadings.

(f) The motion provided for in this section may be made only after one of the following conditions has occurred: (1) If the moving party is a plaintiff, and the defendant has already filed his or her answer to the complaint and the time for the plaintiff to demur to the answer has expired.
In a motion for summary judgment, the moving party may use affidavits, relevant documents, and depositions or interrogatories to support his/her motion, but in a motion for judgment on the pleadings, he/she cannot.
Default judgement occurs when one party or the other does not show for court, or refuses discovery. Summary judgement occurs when the evidence presented is so grossly clear that a trial would result in a given judgement, which happens before evidence is heard.
A motion for judgment on the pleadings under FRCP 12(c) is designed to dispose of cases before trial where the material facts are not in dispute and a judgment on the merits can be rendered by looking to the substance of the pleadings and any judicially noticed facts.
Apply the relevant law to the undisputed facts. Explain why the facts and the law support granting summary judgment in your favor. Use case law – preferably recent – to bolster your argument. Cite previous cases with similar facts where summary judgment was granted.
