What is my next step now?
I read through the Rules of Civil Procedure, although I read them recently and have been studying them. I'm going to divulge some more information about my case because it may help in the answering of my question/questions. I filed my complaint on 11/04/2015. The defendant, after receiving a summons from me, filed an answer to the complaint requesting the complaint be dismissed. After I received the answer I went to the courthouse to ask the clerk what my next step should be in the case. I was told I could file a response if I wanted to, so I did (on 12/28/2015). The response stated why I thought the complaint was valid and should not be dismissed. Since then I received the initial disclosure from the defendant and also mailed my initial disclosure to them. So what might be the next step I would take to move this case forward, because I am eager to do so?
