Company named erroneously in a lawsuit
A client was named in a lawsuit just because it has a name that is similar to the company that is properly named as a defendant. The plaintiff's law firm is refusing to dismiss my client and instead is saying it will sign a stipulation agreeing to postpone the time to answer if the client waives jurisdictional defenses and the right to make any pre-answer motions. The client does not have a lot of money but it seems it needs to move to dismiss this case. It is in Supreme Court, Kings County. Can someone do this inexpensively? Is there a chance to have the plaintiff's attorney sanctioned for just including a company because it has a similar name to the proper defendant and then refusing to dismiss even without prejudice?
