NYSCEF DOC. NO. 49 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/25/2021
Motions
Part 81 motions are heard on Wednesday.
There shall be NO personal appearance for the calendar, until further notice.
EFFECTIVE FROM MOTION DAY APRIL 14, 2021
In the event that you have a case on the regular motion calendar, the parties MUST submit
a stipulation indicating how you would like to proceed on the motion appearance, AT
LEAST TWO WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE MOTION IS SCHEDULED. If the
Court does not receive a timely stipulation and the matter has been on the general motion
calendar more than thrice, the matter may be marked off the calendar.
For example, the court typically would receive one of the following four, fully executed
stipulations:
1. A stipulation applying for adjournment.
2. A stipulation indicating how the motion was resolved;
3. A stipulation withdrawing the motion;
4. A stipulation requesting an oral argument date (see section entitled “Motion Oral
Argument (MOA) Calendar” below for further details).
Requests for adjournment will be automatically granted on the first time on. Thereafter,
only on good cause shown.
Conference Requests
If there is an issue that cannot be expressed to the court by way of stipulation, you must
request a conference with the Principal Law Clerk (sburzio@nycourts.gov), by way of
email. Your email should briefly outline the nature of your issue. When requesting a
conference, please include the name, preferred e-mail address and direct telephone number
of the appearing party. Counsel, please indicate who you represent.
How to Submit your Stipulations
Stipulations shall be filed through NYSCEF and emailed to Part 81 at
KSCCVPART81@nycourts.gov. If your action does not participate in NYSCEF, copies
of stipulations shall be emailed to Part 81. Please be advised that all communication to
chambers must be on notice to your adversary. This Court will not engage in ex-parte

communication.
Motions involving unrepresented litigants
Motions involving a self-represented litigant, motions for a default judgment against a non-
appearing party, or motions to be relieved as counsel will not be heard on default of the
unrepresented party, unless the movant files proof that the party was notified of the adjourn
date, informed that personal appearance is NOT required due to the Covid-19 pandemic
and provided with instructions on how to appear remotely.
Where the movant appears on the adjourn date, but the unrepresented party does not, this
Court will, as a courtesy, adjourn the motion and schedule a Microsoft Teams meeting for
the adjourn date. The Microsoft Teams meeting will also have a dial-in telephone number,
in the event that the litigant does not have access to Microsoft Teams or the internet. This
information will be memorialized in a court order, which counsel must serve on the litigant.
Proof of service must be filed prior to the adjourned date.
Motion Oral Argument (MOA) Calendar:
Please be advised that video conference will automatically be scheduled for ONLY those
cases that are on the Motion Oral Argument (MOA) calendar.
Oral argument is required on all fully briefed motions.
Oral arguments are heard on Wednesdays and shall be conducted virtually, until further
notice.
Upon receipt of a fully executed stipulation requesting oral argument, the motions will be
adjourned to the Part 81 MOA calendar, by separate order. The motion(s) will be
calendared, and a Microsoft Teams invitation will be forwarded by e-mail.
There shall be no adjournments of motions on the oral argument calendar, even on
consent, unless good cause is shown.
Stipulations requesting an oral argument date must indicate the following:
1. The motion sequence number to be addressed;
2. The motion(s) are fully briefed;
3. All moving and responsive papers are filed;

4. The motion(s) are ready for oral argument.
5. Contact information for all participating parties.
a. Name;
b. Direct telephone number; and
c. Preferred e-mail address of the person who will be virtually appearing for
argument.
This information is required to facilitate scheduling. Please note, this direct telephone
number should be to the location where you are remotely working. In the event of
technical difficulty, the court must be able to reach you.
Please note that if your stipulation fails to include this contact information, a video
conference cannot be scheduled, your stipulation may be rejected and your motion(s)
adjourned for resubmission of a fully executed submission.
Motion Day Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How is the Court conducting video conferences?
The Court has transitioned to the Microsoft Teams video conference platform. All
video conferences will be conducted via Microsoft Teams.
2. My motion is on the calendar today. Why didn’t chambers send a Microsoft
Teams link?
On motion day, video conferences are scheduled ONLY for the cases that are on the
Motion Oral Argument (MOA) calendar for that day. The Court issues an order
scheduling your conference prior to the motion day AFTER receipt of the necessary
information.
3. I submitted a stipulation requesting MOA. Why wasn’t my motion
scheduled on the MOA calendar?
There are multiple potential reasons for this. First, it is possible that the Court did not
receive your stipulation in a timely fashion. Stipulations and requests for conferences
MUST be filed and sent two working days before motion day. Since not all filings
appear in the NYSCEF system immediately, court staff must check the docket for each
case on the motion calendar. When stipulations are untimely filed court staff may not
see it and you risk your motion being marked off the calendar.
4. Why is direct contact information required?
The Court requires direct contact information for the parties appearing before it
because court staff needs to be able to communicate directly with the individual
appearing before the Court if there is a technical difficulty or other emergency
situation.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 49 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/25/2021
If the Court is unable to reach the individual appearing within 10 minutes of the start
time, the Court may adjourn the matter, take the motion as a default of appearance, or
mark the motion off the calendar.
5. When is oral argument required?
The Court has oral argument for all fully briefed motions. If the motion is unopposed,
you may submit a proposed order, in Microsoft Word format, by email to the Part 81
Team email address at KSCCVPART81@nycourts.gov, on notice to all parties, by 2:00
p.m. on the motion’s return date.

by phone or email KSCCVPART81@nycourts.gov.
