RESOLUTION PART RULES

HON. GEORGE M. HEYMANN

1. Although there are no formal roll calls or calendar calls, all parties are requested to sign in with the clerk.

2. When all parties to a case are present and have prepared a stipulation for review or require a conference before the court, the court clerk will put the case before the court or assign it to one of the court attorneys. No party shall place any case before the court without requesting permission from the court clerk or officer.

3. Service may request an adjournment from the clerk but may not appear before the court. Parties may adjourn proceedings by stipulation or on verbal consent to a date and time convenient to the parties and the court, after clearing the date with the clerk of the part. The court file will contain a notation that such adjournment is on consent. Stipulations between represented and unrepresented parties must contain a statement the "period covered by the adjournment is not chargeable to either side pursuant to the provisions of RPAPL section 745(2)." Two-attorney stipulations need not contain such provision. All other applications for adjournments must be made before the court.

4. Anyone, other than an attorney, who appears on behalf of a party must have written/notarized authorization to enter into a stipulation or to argue before the court.

5. Defaults on matters scheduled for 9:30 a.m. will be called at 11:30 a.m.; matters scheduled for 11:00 a.m. will be defaulted at 12:00 noon; and matters scheduled for 2:15 p.m. will be defaulted at 3:30 p.m.

6. Any party (or their attorney/representative) who leaves the court without notifying the clerk or officer and is not present when the court recesses for lunch is subject to having the proceeding dismissed, the motion denied, or the matter adjourned at the court's discretion.
