If a complaint is filed against a defendant and that defendant moves for summary judgment before the 20 days has expired for filing his answer, does the time limit for filing the answer change?
For example, can the defendant wait until a ruling is made on the summary judgment before filing his answer, or must he still file his answer within 20 days of receiving the complaint?

I have not taken Federal Civil Procedure yet, just Florida; but I believe that answers and motions are independent of one another. Therefore, you need to still file an answer within the required 20 days; but you can make the answer contingent on your Summary Judgment ruling. I hope I am correct.
