Which of the following is not one of the three parts of a Motion on Notice?

• A. Notice of motion
• B. Affidavits
• C. Memo of law
• D. Pleadings

Answer: (D)

A Motion on Notice is built around three key pieces: the Notice of Motion, which tells everyone when the motion will be heard; the affidavits, which provide the factual basis for the motion; and the memo of law, which sets out the legal arguments and authorities supporting the request. Pleadings, on the other hand, are the initial documents that start the lawsuit—like the claim and the defense—outlining the points of dispute. They belong to the filing that begins the action, not to the ongoing motion record. So pleadings are not part of a Motion on Notice.
