When I answered a summons in civil court, I handed them my answers and affirmative defenses and also a motion to strike an affidavit they had attached to the summons. I also had a motion for discovery, but they said they don't take those in magistrate court.
They also looked strange at me when I had affirmative defenses and the motion to strike the affidavit. Even though they took them, they said they would not be looked at until we walked into the courtroom.
Am I not going to get to use my motion for discovery?
