Hi there! First off... THANKS EVERYBODEEEEEEEE!!! You are all angels sent from heaven.

Now for ZEE ISSUE... I am a cross-plaintiff and defendant in pro per in a suit where the plaintiff alleges breach of contract. I want to file a motion for summary judgment cuz the plaintiff has NO CASE. The plaintiff's complaint has been set for some time, however I have filed a motion for leave to amend based upon new causes of action that have recently become apparent. My cross-complaint currently has set one cause of action for breach of contract.

So, how soon can I file a motion for summary judgment? Do all of the pleadings have to be set prior to filing such?

Would it be better to file a motion for summary adjudication to adjudicate the plaintiff's claim? Then leave mine for later?

I want to get this over with asap. I hope I left enough detail... I'll be a-checkin if not... Just let me know!

Thanks again!
Dixie
