[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Counsel's Name] [Opposing Counsel's 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, [Your Client's Name], in response to the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and subsequent Second Amended Complaint filed in the matter of [Case Name and Number] pending in the [Court Name]. At the outset, we believe that both the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and Second Amended Complaint suffer from multiple deficiencies, and as such, we seek to strike these filings pursuant to [relevant citation to applicable rules or statutes in Wayne, Michigan]. Firstly, it is our contention that the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint fails to meet the standards set forth in [cite relevant local rule or case law in Wayne, Michigan] as it lacks specificity and fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Plaintiff's allegations are vague, ambiguous, and fail to provide us with sufficient notice to formulate a proper defense. As a result, we request that the Court strike the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint for its failure to comply with the pleading requirements. Furthermore, the Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint, which was filed without leave of the Court, represents an additional attempt to cure the deficiencies in the original pleading. However, it contains substantially similar deficiencies as the previous filing. This repetitive and abusive practice is not only wasting judicial resources but also causing undue prejudice to my client. We therefore submit that the Court should strike the Second Amended Complaint as an abuse of process. Additionally, it is worth noting that the Plaintiff's counsel failed to comply with the mandatory meet and confer requirements stipulated in [relevant local court rules in Wayne, Michigan]. Despite our attempts to engage in a meaningful discussion, we have been met with resistance and an unwillingness to address the glaring deficiencies in the Plaintiff's pleadings. Given this failure to engage in good faith, we argue that the Court should exercise its discretion and strike the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and Second Amended Complaint. In light of the foregoing, we respectfully request that the Court grant our Motion to Strike the Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and Second Amended Complaint. We believe that this is necessary to ensure the fair and efficient administration of justice in this matter. We hereby certify that a copy of this letter has been provided to the Court and to the Plaintiff's counsel, as required by applicable rules. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
