Iowa Response To A Motion is a document that is filed in response to a motion that has been filed by a party in a lawsuit in the state of Iowa. It is a formal document that is filed with the court and must be signed by the responding party's attorney. Generally, the responding party will state their position on the motion, provide any relevant facts or law in support of their position, and request certain relief from the court. There are four types of Iowa Response To A Motion: Motion To Dismiss, Motion for Summary Judgment, Motion to Compel, and Motion for Protective Order. A Motion To Dismiss is a legal complaint that requests the court to dismiss the case because the plaintiff failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted. A Motion for Summary Judgment is a motion that requests the court to enter judgment in favor of the moving party without a trial, because there is no genuine issue of material fact in dispute. A Motion to Compel is a motion that asks the court to order the opposing party to perform an act, or to provide a document or information, that they are legally required to provide. A Motion for Protective Order is a request for the court to limit or prohibit the use of certain evidence, or to limit or prohibit certain types of discovery, because the evidence or discovery is either irrelevant, overly burdensome, or otherwise inappropriate.
