Division 5A Courtroom
SOLITAIRE’S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO STRIKE
Solitaire Homes East, LLC and Solitaire Homes, LLC’s (collectively, “Solitaire”)
supplemented their Answer Brief appropriately to point out how the City Council of Fort
Collins’ Amendment to the Record impacts their Answer Brief and moots Plaintiffs’
request that the Court disregard the citation and fact it proved.

Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike Solitaire’s Supplement is an unfounded and frivolous
motion that wastes court resources and unnecessarily multiplies the proceedings in this
case. As the basis for their Motion to Strike, Plaintiffs’ mistakenly rely on C.R.C.P. 15(d).
However, 15(d) only applies to amending or supplementing “pleadings” as are
described in C.R.C.P. 7(a) and does not encompass the supplement filed by Solitaire,
which simply clarifies the impact of the amendment to the record.
Solitaire therefore requests that this Court deny Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike
Dated: April 8, 2023.
