FAQ
Filing an Opposition to a Motion for Summary Judgment A response must be in writing and include the same supporting documents as a motion for summary judgment. The opposition to the motion for summary judgment should also include a statement of facts showing the dispute and supporting documents.
You simply need to request that the court deny the defendant's motion to dismiss. For example, you could write the following: For the foregoing reasons and all the others discussed in Plaintiff's Complaint, the present Motion to Dismiss should be denied.
You do not have to file a response. However, you would be wise to do so as a motion to dsmiss , if granted, could end your suit. Motions to dimiss for failure to state a claim are rarely granted.
Overview. If one party to a case has filed a motion with the court, the other side can file an opposition. An opposition is a written statement explaining to the judge why the other side is not entitled to whatever he is asking for in his motion. It is your opportunity to oppose the other side's request.
If a defendant refuses to produce documents or witnesses for depositions, you can oppose the summary-judgment motion by submitting your declaration and showing that facts essential to justify your opposition may exist but cannot for reasons stated be presented to the court.
The key to defeating a motion for summary judgment is to show the court that there are still facts in dispute. Summary judgment is only appropriate if none of the facts are disputed.
You've written a motion and submitted it to the court. The court has set it for oral argument - now what? Read the rules. Know the judge. Review your written motion. Shepardize your cases again. Review opposing counsel's written motion. Note cases that are directly opposed to your argument. Prepare your argument.
You must include a summary of the legal basis for your opposition, explain the reason you are opposing the motion, and state what you would like the judge to order.
