It is common to speak of an entire species of bacteria as pathogenic when it is identified as the cause of a disease (cf. Koch's postulates). However, the modern view is that pathogenicity depends on the microbial ecosystem as a whole.
If someone files a motion before the date an answer to a complaint is due, the timeline to respond to the motion is: 10 days from the date of service of the motion, OR. the date the defendantâs answer is due (20 days from the date the complaint was served), whichever is later.
Motions. A motion is a document asking the court to order something in an existing case. You cannot start a case by filing a motion. For example, if you need more than 21 days to answer a complaint or petition, you can file a motion to extend the time to answer. This webpage describes the procedures for motions generally and lists several specific motions, but does not describe the details of those motions.
