Caplan v. Spruce Power Holding Corporation et al

A motion was filed in Caplan v. Spruce Power Holding Corporation et al (docket 25-cv-09725) on April 20, 2026, and the court entered an order on a motion to strike — docket entry 32. No judge has been assigned yet, and the filing date for the original complaint is not on record here.

Spruce Power is a residential solar energy company that acquires and manages solar lease and power purchase agreement portfolios. Cases against it in this posture typically involve allegations that the company made misrepresentations to consumers or investors about the terms or performance of those agreements. The specific claims Caplan is pressing have not been detailed in the available record.

The motion to strike at entry 32 is the only substantive procedural event on record. Motions to strike in civil cases usually target pleadings — knocking out specific allegations, affirmative defenses, or exhibits the moving party says are irrelevant, redundant, or legally insufficient. Who filed the motion and what it targeted is not yet clear from the available record.

With no judge assigned and the complaint's filing date unknown, this case is in early stages. The court's ruling on the motion to strike will shape what claims survive into discovery. If the motion was filed by defendants, a win trims the complaint; a loss leaves the full case intact and pushes the parties toward an answer or a motion to dismiss.
