KeyRules and TRG-FEDSUM: The nuts and bolts of moving to terminate
Q: I represent the defendant in a federal civil case in Florida's Southern District, and I intend to file a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. How can I be sure I don't overlook any procedural requirements or strong grounds for my motion?
A: Access the KeyRules–Florida–U.S. District Court database (KEYRULES-FL-DCT) and use the search template to retrieve a single document on motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim. This document condenses and synthesizes—in an easy-to-read outline—the many United States Code Annotated® sections, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, local rules and orders from the Southern District of Florida, model practice forms, and other documents that relate to a specific filing, with a convenient link to each cited source. You can even click Notify me of rules update and have KeyRules Alert automatically notify you if and when the KeyRules document changes.
In addition, access the newly released The Rutter Group-Federal Summary Judgment and Related Termination Motions database (TRG-FEDSUM). TRG-FEDSUM covers almost any imaginable position on (and defense to) motions to terminate federal court proceedings, including motions to dismiss, summary judgment motions, and motions to strike. This guide contains sample motions and motion language for a wide variety of factual and procedural settings, as well as citations and links to supporting authorities. You can use the Table of Contents service to quickly browse the contents of TRG-FEDSUM and retrieve sections by clicking section names.
