Longo analyzes section 2-615, which governs motions with respect to pleadings: By the very terms of the statute itself, Section 2-615 is a vehicle to strike or dismiss pleadings or parts thereof. It is not a vehicle to strike or dismiss a motion. This is because a motion is not a pleading. A motion is an. application to a court for a ruling or some kind of order in a lawsuit. A pleading, on the other hand, is a cause. of action, counterclaim, defense or reply.
If such a responsive pleading is filed, the commissioner or clerk may permit the moving party to file a reply and may allow oral argument on the motion. (d) Motion in Brief. A party may include in a brief only a motion which, if granted, would preclude hearing the case on the merits. The answer to a motion within a brief may be made within the brief of the answering party in the time allowed for filing the brief. (e) Answer and Reply to Motion. A person with a recognized interest in the subject matter of the motion may submit a written answer to the motion.
