Conferences are held in Rm. 314 on Monday thru Thursday. The Court will allow one adjournment as a matter of right to any party. If a second adjournment is needed, parties will have to seek a ruling by Ref. Lazarus. As a general rule, PCs will be adjourned if there is no BP. Ref. Lazarus will set a service date of the BP before the next appearance date.

I will need a BP (if one has been served) and dates of any discovery demands that have been served and are outstanding.

Conferences are held in Rm. 3002 on Monday thru Thursday. These conferences will not be adjourned for any reason. Only the Court can administratively adjourn them.

I will need a BP and a list of any outstanding discovery.

Conferences are held in Rm. 3002 on Monday thru Thursday. These conferences are scheduled by any party to the action. They are scheduled because a Note of Issue (NOI) was filed or will be filed shortly and there is discovery outstanding. At the conference, the case will be stayed and a discovery schedule will be set.

I will need a list of firms who have appeared, a list of outstanding discovery and the last stipulation entered into in this Part (if this is not the first conference in this Part).

Conferences are held in Rm. 25. J. Schulman presides on Mondays and J. Weinstein presides on Tuesday thru Friday. There is no calendar call. If you have to be in multiple parts, you should check in with the Clerk by 10:45am.

When a case is on in this Part for the first time, it will either have a conference marking – CON or no marking. Any adjournment after that will be marked final - FIN. When the case is truly ready for jury selection the case will be marked final with a “T” - FIN(T). The real final date is determined by the standards and goals deadline. The standards and goals deadline is fifteen months after the Note of Issue (NOI) has been filed.

If you need an adjournment and the case is marked FIN(T) I cannot appear. You must appear and request an adjournment yourself. There is no way to predict if a further adjournment will be granted by the Court.

All motions are heard before the assigned judge in his/her courtroom. The judges courtrooms and times are listed in the tab marked “Motion Day Calendar” above

In all instances I will need the motion, some background on the case and instructions.
