If
I
had
to
rank
motions
I
dislike
the
most,
Rule
12,
that
motion
to
strike
has
got
to
be
up
there.
And
I
would
say,
scandalous
or
impertinent
matters
in
your
pleadings
are
really
the
standard.
We
shouldn’t
be
striking
a
class
action
complaint
at
this
stage,
with
no
discovery
and
without
determining
whether
the
viability
of
the
class
action
can
develop.
—
At
the
recent
Miami
Law
Class
Action
&
Complex
Litigation
Forum,
Judge
Rodolfo
A.
Ruiz
II
explained
to
a
room
of
attorneys
the
exact
kind
of
motions
that
piss
him
off.
Judge
Roy
K.
Altman
agreed,
saying,
“I
don’t
think
I’ve
ever
granted
one.”
