N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 3024: Motion to correct pleadings

Rule 3024. Motion to correct pleadings. (a) Vague or ambiguous

pleadings. If a pleading is so vague or ambiguous that a party cannot

reasonably be required to frame a response he may move for a more

definite statement.

(b) Scandalous or prejudicial matter. A party may move to strike any

scandalous or prejudicial matter unnecessarily inserted in a pleading.

(c) Time limits; pleading after disposition. A notice of motion under

this rule shall be served within twenty days after service of the

challenged pleading. If the motion is denied, the responsive pleading

shall be served within ten days after service of notice of entry of the

order and, if it is granted, an amended pleading complying with the

order shall be served within that time.
