This action seeks relief against federal agencies and an official acting in his official capacity. For example, if the complaint alleges that a written contract was breached five years ago, and I demur on the basis that the statute of limitations for breach of a written contract is four years (two years on an oral contract), the plaintiff cannot simply amend the complaint to allege that the breach was less than four years ago. I know of a case where the plaintiff attached hundreds of pages of exhibits to a verified complaint, the defendants demurred, and then while still waiting for the hearing on the demurrer, the plaintiffs brought a Motion for Summary Adjudication on two of the claims, and attached 67 exhibits (some new, some the same as in the original complaint) that make a stack of papers literally nine inches high.

This action seeks relief against federal agencies and an official acting in his official capacity. For example, if the complaint alleges that a written contract was breached five years ago, and I demur on the basis that the statute of limitations for breach of a written contract is four years (two years on an oral contract), the plaintiff cannot simply amend the complaint to allege that the breach was less than four years ago. I know of a case where the plaintiff attached hundreds of pages of exhibits to a verified complaint, the defendants demurred, and then while still waiting for the hearing on the demurrer, the plaintiffs brought a Motion for Summary Adjudication on two of the claims, and attached 67 exhibits (some new, some the same as in the original complaint) that make a stack of papers literally nine inches high.
