In an unlawful detainer case in California, I mistakenly filed a 'motion to dismiss' instead of a 'motion to strike'. The correct motion is not allowed after the response time has elapsed. Do I need to cancel the motion and file the correct one, and will this result in a default? Additionally, how should I handle serving documents without a court time stamp, and can I serve the attorney of record in a related restraining order case?

The suspension occurred because I didn't show up to court for the ticket, which I didn't know about since I had moved and didn't receive the ticket in the mail. What are my options to get my license unsuspended and what will this mean for my driving record?
