Without actually reading the amended complaint, I certainly cannot predict that a motion to dismiss would be successful. The pleadings may look deficient to you but the judge might find them adequate. Maybe worth a try, but I can't predict how your judge will rule.

The proper procedure would be to file a demurrer for failure to state a cause of action against that defendant.
