RULE 1.150. 	SHAM PLEADINGS
(a) 	Motion to Strike. If a party deems any pleading or part
thereof filed by another party to be a sham, that party may move to
strike the pleading or part thereof before the cause is set for trial
and the court shall hear the motion, taking evidence of the
respective parties, and if the motion is sustained, the pleading to
which the motion is directed shall be stricken. Default and
summary judgment on the merits may be entered in the discretion
of the court or the court may permit additional pleadings to be filed
for good cause shown.

(b) 	Contents of Motion. The motion to strike shall be
verified and shall set forth fully the facts on which the movant relies
and may be supported by affidavit. No traverse of the motion shall
be required.
