[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Party's Attorney's Name] [Opposing Party's Attorney's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint Case: [Case Name] Case Number: [Case Number] Dear [Opposing Party's Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the court's consideration of our Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint in the above-mentioned case. We have carefully reviewed the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and believe it to be both legally deficient and not in compliance with the rules of procedure governing this jurisdiction. It is our position that the amendments made by the Plaintiff fail to cure the deficiencies present in the Original Complaint and therefore should be stricken from the record. In support of our motion, we hereby present the following arguments: 1. Failure to State a Claim: The Plaintiff's Amended Complaint, just like the Original Complaint, fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Plaintiff has not included sufficient factual allegations that establish the essential elements of the causes of action they assert. Consequently, the Amended Complaint does not meet the minimal standards required to survive a motion to dismiss. 2. Violation of Procedural Rules: Our review of the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint reveals that it fails to comply with applicable procedural rules governing the filing of amended pleadings. Specifically, the Plaintiff has failed to seek leave of court or obtain consent from the defendant, as required by [cite the specific procedural rule or local court rule if applicable]. This failure alone warrants striking the Amended Complaint from the record. 3. Prejudice to the Defendant: Allowing the Plaintiff to proceed with their Amended Complaint would result in undue prejudice to the Defendant. The Amended Complaint introduces new theories of liability and raises new allegations that were not previously addressed in the Original Complaint. This presents an unfair disadvantage to the Defendant, who now faces new claims and must expend additional time, effort, and resources to address them. In light of the aforementioned arguments, we respectfully request the court to strike the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint from the record. By doing so, the court will uphold the principles of fairness, ensure adherence to procedural rules, and avoid imposing unnecessary burdens on the Defendant throughout the course of this litigation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to the court's prompt consideration of our Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Amended Complaint. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm's Name, if applicable] [Your Law Firm's Address, if applicable] [City, State, ZIP Code]
