At a case conference, the defendants sought to schedule a short motion to strike the plaintiff's claim in its entirety.
The court declined to hear the substantive motion to strike at the case conference, noting that while Rule 50.13 allows for procedural orders and some interlocutory relief to expedite matters, it is inappropriate to dismiss an action entirely without the benefit of factums or case law.
The case conference was adjourned to allow the parties to consider their options, including a potential summary trial.
