After the plaintiffs reply to the affirmative defenses, the defendant typically has the opportunity to file a rejoinder or a response to the plaintiffs' reply, if necessary. This may involve clarifying or countering the arguments made by the plaintiffs. Depending on the jurisdiction and the specific case, the defendant may also move the court for a ruling on certain issues raised in the pleadings. Ultimately, the next steps will depend on the procedural rules applicable to the case.

What is a leave to plead?

"Leave to plead" is the allowance by the court to file a particular type of pleading even though technically, you may be barred by court rules or statute from filing the pleading. As an example, a defendant normally has a limited number of days within which to file an Answer. After the time expires defendant will be allowed to file out of time only if the plaintiff consents or in some cases only if the court consents. If the defendant needs the court's consent, application is made for "leave to plead" defendant's answer. If the court grants leave to plead, the defendant may file the Answer as if it had been filed within the time originally required. The phrase also applies to adding different types of defenses or claims that may have been left out of pleadings already filed. If, for example, a defendant filed the usual answer denying plaintiff's claims, but later realized he should have included several affirmative defenses as well, he might have to get the court's permission to amend his original answer by adding the affirmative defenses. Here, defendant would be granted leave to plead the specific affirmative defenses he needs.

How do you repond to a defendants answer to your complaint?

Generally, there is no requirement to file any response to a defendant's answer. The complaint and answer form the issues (set forth the disputes) in the case. There is a pleading called a Reply, but it is rarely used and is not required. Of course, every state has it's own rules of civil practice so it's difficult to give a thorough answer to this question.
