Q: I am a plaintiff in a small claims(court date in a week) and just received a motion to dismiss. Do I need to respond?
I dealt and paid a contractor and they paid the vendors. I was deceived on a specific countertop material. I had to sue the contractor since I went through the contractor and they paid the stone company. The contractor has a motion to dismiss based on I didn't sue the stone company.
A:
You do not have to respond in writing to a motion to dismiss by law. However you can make a response if you desire to do so.
Good luck.
A: You do not have to respond. But, you should be prepared at the trial because it will be brought up then.
