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.
You typically have ten days (judicial days) to respond to a motion. If the motion was mailed to you, then you would have an additional five days to respond. It sounds like you have an unconformed copy of the motion, which is common. Contact an attorney to discuss how you need to respond to the motion. You have a little bit of time...just not a lot of time.
