How is an Illinois combined dismissal or summary-judgment motion timed?

Identify each proposed Section 2-615, 2-619 or 2-1005 part.

Separate the grounds and identify the governing section for every part.

Establish the pleading procedure, summary-judgment prerequisites and actual dispositive-motion cutoff.

1. Identify each proposed Section 2-615, 2-619 or 2-1005 part.
2. Separate the grounds and identify the governing section for every part.
3. Establish the pleading procedure, summary-judgment prerequisites and actual dispositive-motion cutoff.
4. Section 2-619.1 states no period. Section 2-619 depends on pleading time, while Section 2-1005 uses different prerequisites. Rule 191(a) additionally requires the Section 2-619 and summary-judgment components before any court-set dispositive cutoff.
5. File clearly identified separate parts with their own grounds and required evidence. Preserve actual orders for the included procedures and subsequent pleading.

This procedure does not supply one computed date. Establish each required event, selected date or filing sequence before applying any separately governing counting and closed-day provisions.

Fictitious comparison. A defendant combines a pleading defect with summary judgment after the court has set a dispositive cutoff. A permitted document format does not remove the cutoff or supply missing summary-judgment evidence.

A combined motion preserves distinct statutory parts. Its historical thirty-day preset cannot establish their separate prerequisites and court deadlines.

Each part stays separate

Section 2-619.1 requires each part to specify one governing section and clearly state the points or grounds relied upon under that section.

Summary judgment has separate prerequisites

Section 2-1005(a) requires a plaintiff to wait until the opposite party has appeared or its appearance time has expired. Subsection (b) permits a defendant to move at any time, subject to governing rules and orders.

The court cutoff covers particular parts

Rule 191(a) governs the cutoff and affidavits for Section 2-1005 and Section 2-619 motions. Do not assume document combination changes those requirements.

• File clearly identified separate parts with their own grounds and required evidence. Preserve actual orders for the included procedures and subsequent pleading. File with the proper clerk in the required format. Rule 9 ordinarily requires civil electronic filing, subject to its exceptions and exemptions. Rule 9(f) ordinarily requires submission before midnight in the court time zone unless a statute, rule or actual order specifies a different time. A submission on a closed clerk day ordinarily receives the next open-day stamp. Preserve the actual electronic file mark, receipt and any filing-relief order. Filing and service are distinct acts.
