Sample Letter for Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint in Kentucky Subject: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Court's Name] [County's Name] [Court's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: CASE NO. [Case Number] Dear Honorable [Judge's Last Name], I, [Your Name], on behalf of [Defendant's Name], hereby submit this Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint as per the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure [insert relevant rule number, if applicable]. We respectfully request the court to strike the amended complaint filed by the plaintiff in the above-referenced case for the following reasons: 1. Failure to obtain Leave to Amend: The plaintiff has failed to seek or obtain leave of the court before filing their amended complaint. As per [cite relevant case law or rules], a party must obtain court approval to amend a complaint after the pleading stage. The plaintiff's failure to adhere to this requirement warrants the striking of the amended complaint. 2. Undue Delay and Prejudice: The plaintiff's amendment is unduly delayed and causes significant prejudice to the defendant. The original complaint was filed on [date], and the amended complaint was only filed [number of days/months later]. This significant delay has caused unnecessary hardship for the defendant in terms of time, resources, and the ability to prepare an appropriate defense. The plaintiff's failure to timely amend reflects their lack of diligence in pursuing their claims. 3. Futility of Amendments: Upon careful review of the amended complaint, it is evident that the plaintiff's amendments fail to cure the deficiencies present in their original complaint. The amended complaint still lacks necessary factual allegations, misstates the law, and fails to establish a valid cause of action. The amendments, therefore, serve no purpose other than prolonging the litigation process. 4. Legal Insufficiency: The amended complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The plaintiff has not presented any new factual allegations or legal arguments that would support their cause of action. The amended complaint simply restates the previous allegations while failing to address the deficiencies highlighted by the defendant in their responsive pleading. As such, the amended complaint lacks merit and should be struck. In consideration of the aforementioned reasons, we respectfully request this honorable court to grant this Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and dismiss it with prejudice. This will not only protect the defendant's rights but also ensure the efficient administration of justice within the constraints of the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we request a prompt ruling on this motion. Respectfully, [Your Name] [Your Title/Designation] [Your Law Firm's Name] [Your Law Firm's Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
