Plain-English guides to the Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure, each one tied to the rules it relies on. Every rule named in a guide has its own page with the official text.

• Responding to an Idaho complaint: 21 days, and notice before the default is even enteredIdaho Rule 12(a) gives 21 days after service of the summons and complaint to serve an answer — and if you have appeared, you get three days' written notice before a default can be entered at all.
• Setting aside an Idaho default judgment: six months, and the plaintiff had to certify your best addressIdaho Rule 60(b) allows six months, not a year — and Rule 55(b)(1) requires the original instrument and a certified address before a sum-certain default judgment can be entered.
• The Idaho motion to compel: a catch-all that reaches beyond the discovery rulesIdaho Rule 37(f) is a general sanctions catch-all allowing fees and costs against a party or the advising attorney in addition to the rule's specific remedies.
• The Idaho motion to dismiss: eight grounds, including a case already pending elsewhereIdaho Rule 12(b) lists eight defenses rather than the usual seven, adding a parallel action pending between the same parties.
• Idaho execution: no automatic stay, but a writ for more than the face amount needs a sworn computationIdaho Rule 62(a) allows execution immediately on entry, and Rule 69(a) bars a writ for anything beyond the face amount of the judgment without an affidavit verifying the computation.
