WHEREAS, pursuant to 22 NYCRR §202.59(b), Petitioner is required to serve on

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to waive the application of 22 NYCRR § 202.59 (b)
and (c) to the extent hereinafter set forth in order that the parties may save time, effort and expense,
andWHEREAS, the parties desire to partially waive the application of Real Property Tax Law
§718 in tax review proceedings involving the same property over various years.

1. This stipulation shall encompass tax year 2014/15 and the petitions filed for all
subsequent tax years by Petitioner and its successor-in-interest.

years at issue with the Nassau County Attorney, as attorney for Respondents, for each year under
