Hi,
Are you the plaintiff or defendant? What kind of suit?
Rich
A demurrer is a pleading by the defendant that contests the legal sufficiency of the complaint without admitting or denying the allegations therein. Demurrers are usually filed at the beginning of a case. It is filed before the answer and can be characterized as the defendant's way of saying "there is no legal claim here" after reading a plaintiff's complaint.
The memorandum is submitted in support of the demurrer.

Correct. The defendant has appeared by the demurrer.
