What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? new york state, new york city civil court
plaintiff files suit on consumer credit transaction in new york city civil court. i am the defendant.
i answer the complaint add my counterclaims within the required time.
weeks later i file a motion to dismiss complaint. motion to dismiss complaint is granted. plaintiff replies to my counterclaims by filing and sending reply to counterclaims.
i file a motion for sanctions against plaintiff (failure to comply with court order, court order was for disclosing certain documents to me by a certain date. plaintiff failed to do this. a second motion to compel compliance was ignored also.) motion for sanctions granted, plaintiff's pleading is stricken.
so what now?
the most important question i have is this: without their reply to my counterclaims it basically means they have no defense. does this mean if my counterclaims have merit i will easily win at trial? or do i need to file a summary judgment? or do i just wait until trial and tell the judge they have no defense as to my counterclaims and judgment should be entered?
please advise what my options areWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
