no
Is a motion for summary judgment a responsive pleading?
No, a motion to dismiss is not a responsive pleading. Under the federal rules, the determination of "what's a pleading" is covered by Fed. Rule of Civil Procedure 7(a). If it isn't listed in Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 7(a), it is not a "pleading" technically. A motion to dismiss is likely under Fed. Rule 12(b), and while a Motion to Dismiss can sometimes be used prior to an answer, it technically does not enlarge the time in which to answer a suit, it nevertheless extends the deadline to answer. Rule 12 provides that if a Rule 12 motion to dismiss is denied, the responsive pleading reply period is modified to be 10 days after the Court's decision.
