Motion to Strike in Arkansas

What Is a Motion to Strike?

General Information for Complaints and Motions

Ark.R.Civ.P. 12 concerns motions to strike and provides:

“Upon motion made by a party before responding to a pleading or, if no responsive pleading is permitted by these rules, upon motion made by a party within 30 days after the service of the pleading upon him or upon the court's own initiative at any time, the court may order stricken from any pleading any insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent or scandalous matter.” (Id.)

Standard of Review and Burdens of Proof

Courts “review the denial of a motion to strike under an abuse-of-discretion standard.” (Convent Corp. v. City of N. Little Rock (2021) 615 S.W.3d 706, 719 citing Looney v. Blair, 2010 Ark. 479, 2010 WL 5059573.)

“An abuse of discretion occurs when the circuit court exercises its discretion thoughtlessly and without due consideration.” (Id.)

The Court’s Decision

“Without establishing any prejudice as the basis for his motion to strike, [reviewing courts] cannot say that [a] trial court abused its discretion in denying the motion.” (Trujillo v. TK Martial Arts Academy, LLC (2015) 474 S.W.3d 519, 522 citing Grinnell v. Garnet Real Estate LLC, 2013 Ark. App. 273, 427 S.W.3d 717.)
