Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

if tenant files an answer
I have given a tenant a 3 day notice and he did not pay. I filed an unlawful detainer action and he was served. He filed an answer which I do not intend to handle myself. I believe he filed an answer because he is a flake and is stalling for time. A friend who had a similar action advised me there is a method some attorneys use called a summary judgement motion which gets the tenant out faster. Is this an effective and faster method to get a tenant out and is it cost-effective versus having to go to court for a trial. In other words do they work(whatever they are!) I believe this tenant will do anything to stall and will cause alot of problems for me so I would like to get him out the fastest way possible.

Re: if tenant files an answer

no summary judgement for UD. You need to be ready to address answer.
