Re: Answer to a Complaint filed
A judge would not normally dismiss an answer to a complaint. He could "strike" the Answer, if proper grounds exist. The Plaintiff would generally have to decide how to best "prosecute" his or her case, and you may be well-advised to obtain an attorney to assist you in this process.
