[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Plaintiff's Attorney Name] [Plaintiff's Attorney's Law Firm] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint Dear [Plaintiff's Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing in response to the recently filed Amended Complaint by your client, [Plaintiff's Name], in the matter of [Case Name and Number] pending in the [Court Name] of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. I would like to bring to your attention our intention to file a Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint. As per the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 12. F., we believe there are substantial grounds for striking the amended complaint and request that you consider withdrawing it voluntarily to save both parties unnecessary time and resources. In support of our motion, we contend that the amended complaint fails to meet the requisite legal standards and is deficient in several areas, as described below: 1. Lack of Proper Pleading: The amended complaint fails to include specific factual allegations and legal grounds to support the claims asserted, as required under North Carolina law and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 2. Statute of Limitations: The amended complaint appears to be time-barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The claims made therein are based on events that allegedly occurred more than [time period] prior to the filing date, thereby rendering them legally unsustainable. 3. Failure to State a Claim: Despite the attempt to cure the defects in the original complaint, the amended complaint still does not sufficiently state a valid cause of action. It lacks essential elements, coherent reasoning, and supporting evidence to establish a plausible claim. 4. Prejudice to the Defendant: The filing of the amended complaint would unduly prejudice our client by requiring us to revisit case strategy, engage in additional discovery, and form new defenses. This would result in unnecessary delay and expense for both parties involved. Given the aforementioned grounds, we kindly request that you voluntarily withdraw the Amended Complaint to avoid unnecessary litigation expenses, time wastage, and further delay in the resolution of this matter. Should you choose to proceed with the amended complaint, we have no choice but to formally file a Motion to Strike and seek appropriate relief from the court. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and advise us of your client's position regarding the withdrawal of the Amended Complaint within [number of days] from the date of this communication. Failure to respond in good faith may result in additional litigation costs and attorney's fees attributable to your client. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to a timely and amicable resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm, if applicable] [Your Law Firm's Address] [City, State, ZIP]
