[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Counsel's Name] [Opposing Counsel's Law Firm Name] [Law Firm Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and Second Amended Complaint Dear [Opposing Counsel's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of my client, the defendant in the aforementioned case, to bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding the recently filed Amended Complaint and Second Amended Complaint by the plaintiff. We believe that both these documents suffer from serious deficiencies that warrant their striking from the record. Keyword: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint In regard to the plaintiff's Amended Complaint, it is our contention that it fails to comply with the essential requirements of a pleading as mandated by the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure. The Amended Complaint lacks specificity, fails to state a cause of action, and contains factual and legal allegations that are without merit. Additionally, it appears that the plaintiff has attempted to add new claims or parties not previously disclosed, which goes against the principles of due process and fairness. Furthermore, it is crucial to highlight that the Minnesota courts have established clear guidelines for amending complaints, necessitating good cause and expeditiousness. We contend that the plaintiff's amendment is untimely and should not be considered as a result. Keyword: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint Turning to the plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint, we find similar deficiencies that warrant its striking. Despite having ample opportunities to rectify the shortcomings of the initial Amended Complaint, the plaintiff has failed to cure the issues within the Second Amended Complaint adequately. It continues to suffer from the same deficiencies, including a lack of specificity, failure to state a cause of action, and inclusion of meritless factual and legal allegations. Given the repeated failure to comply with the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure, we argue that allowing the Second Amended Complaint to proceed would unduly prejudice our client's rights. The introduction of new claims and parties at this stage not only undermines the efficiency of the legal process but also denies our client the opportunity to respond adequately and present a robust defense. In light of the aforementioned deficiencies, we respectfully request that you promptly withdraw the Amended Complaint and Second Amended Complaint to avoid unnecessary delays and burden on the court. Alternatively, we anticipate filing a Motion to Strike both pleadings if they are not voluntarily withdrawn by [reasonable deadline]. Please consider this correspondence as a good-faith effort to address our concerns and find a reasonable resolution before resorting to formal legal proceedings. We trust that you will give this matter the attention it deserves and act in accordance with the principles of fairness and justice. We look forward to receiving your prompt response and hope that we can resolve this matter amicably. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm Name] [Law firm Address] [City, State, ZIP Code]
