FOR: _____________________________

MOTION TO CANCEL LIS PENDENS


Plaintiff, by counsel and to this Honorable Court, respectfully states:

  1. Defendant caused the annotation or registration of a notice of lis pendens on the subject matter of the instant suit.

  2. Defendant caused the recording of the lis pendens for the purpose of molesting plaintiff, and the recordal thereof is not necessary to protect his rights to the property, his right thereto, if any, is only indirect and contingent.

  3. The recordal of the lis pendens is prejudicial to plaintiff’s interest to the property because, being the owner of said property, it is burden and it restricts its transferability by sale, as no one will buy it during the pendency of the case and for as long as the lis pendens is not canceled.

RELIEF

WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays that the notice of lis pendens be ordered cancelled.

Other just and equitable reliefs are likewise prayed for.
