They must also be filed in court and served on the opposing party's attorney (or the party if not represented by counsel). If the motion is contested, the opposing attorneys will also file papers opposing the motion.

A civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court, if service is obtained within one year from such filing upon a named defendant, or upon an incorrectly named defendant whose name is later corrected pursuant to Civ.
