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.
For example, a plaintiff may bring a Rule 12(c) motion if the defendantâs answer fails to controvert the allegations in the complaint. Second, while a Rule 12(b)(6) motion is typically brought before filing an answer, a motion for judgment on the pleadings can be made only after the pleadings are closed.
