Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Party's Attorney's Name] [Opposing Party's Attorney's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint in [Case Name] Dear [Opposing Party's Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to submit a formal motion on behalf of my client, [Defendant's Name], to strike the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint in the above-mentioned case. Our motion is based on the following grounds: 1. Lack of Sufficient Specificity: There is a conspicuous absence of specific allegations in the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint, which fails to meet the pleading standards set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure. The amended complaint lacks necessary details and fails to provide sufficient factual support for each cause of action, making it vague, ambiguous, and prejudicial to our client. 2. Failure to State a Claim upon Which Relief Can Be Granted: The Plaintiff's Amended Complaint fails to establish a plausible claim for relief. The allegations put forth are either immaterial, lack legal basis, or do not satisfy the necessary elements of the alleged causes of action. Our client respectfully asserts that, upon review, it becomes apparent that the Plaintiff has not met the required burden and has failed to state a valid legal claim. 3. Violation of the Statute of Limitations: Our analysis reveals that several claims raised in the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint are time-barred by applicable statutes of limitations. As such, these claims should be stricken from the complaint as a matter of law. 4. Judicial Estoppel: The Plaintiff's Amended Complaint contains allegations inconsistent with their previous pleadings and positions taken in related proceedings. This inconsistent stance demonstrates a clear abuse of the legal process and warrants the striking of their amended complaint on the grounds of judicial estoppel. We believe that the aforementioned grounds provide substantial justification for this motion to strike the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint. Should the court grant our motion, it will eliminate the prejudice caused to our client and expedite the resolution of this matter. Enclosed herewith, please find the proposed Order to accompany this motion, granting the requested relief. We kindly request that you file a response to this motion within [number of days, typically 14] from the receipt of this letter. Failure to respond will be deemed as your client's non-opposition to the motion, and we may request the court for a default judgment in favor of our client accordingly. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. We remain open to a reasonable resolution outside of litigation and look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm's Name, if applicable] [Your Law Firm's Address, if applicable]
