Civil Case No ____________________

FOR: _____________________________

MOTION TO CANCEL LIS PENDENS

Plaintiff, by counsel and to this Honorable Court, respectfully states:

1. Defendant caused the annotation or registration of a notice of lis pendens on
the subject matter of the instant suit.
2. Defendant caused the recording of the lis pendens for the purpose of molesting
plaintiff, and the recordal thereof is not necessary to protect his rights to the
property, his right thereto, if any, is only indirect and contingent.
3. The recordal of the lis pendens is prejudicial to plaintiff’s interest to the
property because, being the owner of said property, it is burden and it restricts its
transferability by sale, as no one will buy it during the pendency of the case and for
as long as the lis pendens is not canceled.

RELIEF

WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays that the notice of lis pendens be ordered cancelled.

Other just and equitable reliefs are likewise prayed for.
