FAQ
Rule 12(b)(1) makes it clear that the defendant may tender a guilty plea, a nolo contendere plea, or, in District Court, an admission to sufficient facts, without entering into a plea agreement.
The court must decide every pretrial motion before trial unless it finds good cause to defer a ruling. The court must not defer ruling on a pretrial motion if the deferral will adversely affect a party's right to appeal.
To succeed in obtaining a summary judgment, a party must present compelling evidence and legal arguments that establish there are no genuine issues of material fact to be tried.
Rule 12(f) indicates explicitly that although the court may, sua sponte, clean up the pleadings (literally and figuratively) at any time, it may strike an insufficient defense only if the plaintiff takes the initiative.
Rule 12(f) provides in relevant part that on motion or sua sponte, ?[t]he court may strike from a pleading . . . any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter.? If Lexis annotations are a guide, relatively few litigants file Rule 12(f) motions on those grounds?and with good reason.
Replies should be succinctly stated. If the response to a fact is ?undisputed,? the reply should also state ?undisputed.? If you contend that despite a response of ?disputed,? the non-moving party has failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact, you should succinctly state why.
Rule 56 - Summary Judgment (a)Motions for Summary Judgment. A party may move for summary judgment subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding under these rules except in actions for divorce or in actions for custody or visitation or for criminal contempt.
Rule 56(c)(4) provides that a formal affidavit or a written unsworn declaration that complies with 28 U.S.C. § 1746 can be used to support or oppose a motion for summary judgment.
Stated differently, to successfully defend against summary judgment the non-moving party (you) should seek to demonstrate that indeed there are material facts in dispute. Alternatively, the non-moving party (you) can argue that the undisputed facts support a judgment as a matter of law in your favor.
A Rule 12(c) motion also challenges the legal sufficiency of the opposing party's pleadings and can be used to attack subject matter jurisdiction.
