Judicial Reassignment - April 26, 2018
After many years of judicial service, the Honorable Shirley W. Kornreich, Commercial Division Part 54, will retire from the bench in May 2018. Justice Kornreich will be succeeded as the Justice assigned to Commercial Division Part 54 by the Honorable Jennifer G. Schecter. Justice Schecter has been assigned to IAS General Assignment Part 57.
Justice Andrew Borrok has joined the court. He will take over much of the inventory of Justice Schecter’s former Part 57.
The inventory of Part 54 is in the process of being transferred to Justice Schecter. Some of the pre-note cases that had been assigned to Justice Schecter in Part 57 are being transferred to Justice Margaret Chan in Part 33. The balance of the pre-note inventory of Part 57 (except for certain structured settlement cases, which will remain assigned to Justice Schecter) is being reassigned to Justice Borrok. Various post-note cases from Part 57 will remain in Justice Schecter’s name until they are scheduled for regular settlement conferences. If a motion is pending or is filed hereafter in a post-note case that had been assigned to Part 57, the matter will be reassigned to the appropriate Justice.
It is anticipated that the reassignments of these cases will be completed by early June 2018. E-mail notifications of various reassignments have been sent to counsel through the New York State Courts Electronic Filing System. Further, see information about E-Track below.
Commercial Division Part 54 will remain in Courtroom 228 at 60 Centre Street after this reassignment. The telephone number of the Part will be unchanged (at 646-386-3362). Justice Schecter has moved to new Chambers (Room 626 at 60 Centre Street, phone: 646-386-4048).
The Courtroom for Part 57 will remain as it was (Room 623 at 111 Centre Street), and the phone number of the Part will remain unchanged (646-386-3657). Justice Borrok’s Chambers will be in Room 326 at 111 Centre Street (646-386-4203).
Dates previously scheduled for conferences or other appearances in cases that were assigned to Commercial Division Part 54 or Part 57 and that are due to take place after the reassignments described herein will remain in effect unless otherwise directed by Justices Schecter, Borrok, or Chan. Motions in cases that have been assigned to Parts 54 and 57 and that are currently pending in the General Clerk’s Office’s Motion Submission Courtroom (Room 130) will be submitted to Justice Schecter, Justice Borrok, or Justice Chan in accordance with the new inventory assignments. For additional information about the status of any individual case, see the Supreme Court Records Online Library Scroll.
Counsel are also encouraged to sign up for the court system’s E-Track case-tracking service, which allows them to list with the service some or all of the firm’s cases that are pending in the Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County, and in other counties as well. E-Track will send e-mail notifications regarding all court developments in listed cases, including reassignment of cases and rescheduling of appearances in those cases. E-Track can also provide appearance reminders. There is no charge for the E-Track service.
