It's important to respond to (or answer) the lawsuit. You do this by filing official paperwork with the court. Be sure to address every point in the complaint, raise any defenses you have, and file the paperwork within the time frame provided.

Prepare your response, which is called an "Answer." In your Answer, you must address each allegation in the complaint and state your defenses. You can find templates for Answers online or at the court clerk's office. 4. File your Answer with the court by the deadline stated in the summons.

The answer can be told to the clerk at the courthouse in person, or can be written down and given to the clerk in writing. It may be easier for you to answer in person.

In most U.S. jurisdictions, a writ of mandamus or other similar appeal is how a party may compel a court to rule on a pending motion.

Similar variation across courts was seen in motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment. Across all cases, the mean time to rule on Rule 12 motions was almost 130 days, but when broken down by district the mean time varied from 63 days in the fastest court to 176 days in the slowest court.

Ing to California law, it's a ruling, instruction, or direction issued by a judge or a court that requires a person to either do or abstain from specific acts. Willfully violating these instructions is a crime in California and is charged as Contempt of Court.

The decision of the court shall be rendered within sixty days after the cause or matter is finally submitted or within sixty days after a motion under rule 4403, whichever is later, unless the parties agree to extend the time.

Sometimes, the Judge makes a decision right away. If not, the Judge has 60 days by law to decide the motion.

Under CPLR 2214(b), a notice of motion must be served at least eight days in advance of the motion date. Five additional days are added when service by mail is used. Responding papers are due two days before the motion date.

You can contact your bank, employer, or credit reporting company to find out which Court made the judgment. You can use the Court Locator on this page to find a Court. Then contact the Court and get a copy of the court file, including the Affidavit of Service for the Summons and Complaint.
