Calendar Matter: MOTION TO STRIKE ANSWER TO 1ST AMENDED COMPLAINT

Rulings: The Matter is on calendar for Tuesday, February 20,2018, Line 8: PLAINTIFF AIMEE BAINTER’S MOTION TO STRIKE ANSWER TO 1ST AMENDED COMPLAINT. Plaintiff Aimee Bainter’s motion to strike portions of answer to the first amended complaint is denied in its entirety. This motion is a total waste of time. If defendant prevails, its entitlement to fees and costs will be determined as of the date of the judgment and it would be entitled to seek fees and costs whether or not it requests them in the answer. Defendant is also entitled to seek to amend its answer and its purported reservation is of no consequence. Motions like this only increase costs without any benefit.
