A motion to dismiss or motion for dismissal is a motion made in a civil case, where one party asks the court to dismiss or throw out the case without reviewing all of the facts and legal arguments of the case.
When a defendant files a motion to dismiss, he asks the Court to throw out all or part of the plaintiff's case.The parties (well, their lawyers) will come to court, explain their positions on the motion to dismiss, and answer any questions posed by the judge. Finally, the judge will decide to grant or deny the motion.
To survive a motion to dismiss, a lawsuit must contain sufficient factual matter to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009).
