George J. Silver) solely for the purpose of the Administrative Coordinating Justice's setting a final trial date for each case. To access this Order and an annexed list of the cases governed by the Order, click here. The cases listed shall appear in Part 40 (60 Centre Street, Room 422) on September 27, 2013 and on October 4, 2013 at times set by the court, as shown on the following lists:
Appearances for September 27, 2013
Appearances for October 4, 2013
At the appearances listed, a trial date will be selected and memorialized in a so-ordered stipulation. This trial date shall be a firm one and shall not be adjourned. Trial counsel must come to the appearances listed with their trial schedules so that the court may take counsels' other commitments into account when fixing the firm trial date for each case.

Counsel are reminded that various notifications previously sent by the court by mail are no longer sent by that means. Counsel have been advised instead to sign up for the court system’s case tracking and notification service as a means to keep track of appearances in cases of interest. The service, which is known as e-Track, provides, at no charge, prompt notice by e-mail whenever an event in a listed case is recorded by court staff in the court’s case history software program. Among the events that, once recorded, will generate e-mail notification are the scheduling or adjournment of a motion or conference, the issuance of a decision on a motion, the issuance of a long form order, and the scheduling of a matter for reference or trial. Attorneys may register with e-Track, and receive notifications in, one, many or all of their cases pending in this court, or pending elsewhere. Attorneys can also arrange to receive through e-Track e-mail appearance reminders at certain intervals prior to each appearance in each listed case.
The e-Track application is accessible at the following address:
Private, for-fee tracking services are also available.
INFORMATION REGARDING CERTAIN JUDICIAL REASSIGNMENTS
The Governor has appointed to the Appellate Division, First Department the Hon. Paul G. Feinman and the Hon. Judith J. Gische, heretofore Justices of this court. Until further notice, Hon. Barbara Jaffe will cover Part 12, the General Assignment Part previously presided over by Justice Feinman. Part 12 will continue to be an e-filing Part. As before, working copies of documents in e-filed cases in that Part shall not be submitted unless otherwise directed in specific instances by the court. Justice Jaffe will also continue to preside over City Part 5.
Information regarding the assignment to Part 10, the General Assignment Part previously presided over by Justice Gische, will be forthcoming in the near future. Counsel are advised to follow this space for such information.
Information on cases assigned to Parts 12 and 10 is available in the Supreme Court Records On-Line Library (Scroll), which is accessible at no charge on the website of the Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County at the “Case Information” link at the following address:
Motions pending in the Motion Support Office Courtroom (Room 130) in cases assigned to Part 12 will be referred to Justice Jaffe after submission in the normal manner. Appearance dates in Part 12 cases previously fixed by Justice Feinman will remain in effect unless otherwise directed by the court.
Prior to summer 2012, the court provided notification by mail of certain appearances, but does so no longer. Instead, counsel should sign up for the court system’s E-Track service, which provides notification by e-mail of all appearances recorded in the court’s electronic case history program, as well as other developments recorded therein, such as the issuance of decisions and long-form orders. E-Track allows counsel to list with the service all of the firm’s cases that are pending in the Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County, and in other counties as well, which will permit counsel to receive e-mail notification regarding all developments in all of those cases. E-Track can also provide appearance reminders should counsel wish to avail themselves of that capability. To sign up for E-Track, counsel should go to the following address:
Honorable Bernard J. Fried, Justice of the Commercial Division (Part 60), is retiring from the bench. Honorable Marcy S. Friedman, previously assigned to IAS Part 57 and to the Center for Complex Litigation, has been named a Justice of the Commercial Division, effective July 16, 2012. It is anticipated that the entirety of the inventory of Part 60 will be transferred in the court’s computer to Justice Friedman by July 20, 2012. However, any proposed orders to show cause or other applications in Part 60 cases that require prompt judicial action should, effective immediately, be presented to Justice Friedman after submission in the normal manner to the Commercial Division Support Office. Within a few weeks Justice Friedman will cease to be a Justice of the Center for Complex Litigation. Her place in the Center will be taken by Honorable Cynthia S. Kern (Part 55). It is anticipated that the several groups of mass tort actions that have been assigned to Justice Friedman in the Center and in Part 57 will be transferred to Justice Kern in Part 55 by August 15, 2012. Information on the reassignment of General Assignment cases (i.e., other than mass tort cases) that have previously been assigned to Justice Friedman in Part 57 will be made available shortly. Counsel are advised to follow this space for such information. Applications for the approval of the transfer of structured settlements in return for lump sum payments (Structured Settlement Protection Act, GOL § 5-1701 et seq.), which have previously been assigned to Part 55, shall henceforth be assigned to Honorable Saliann Scarpulla (Part 19). All other cases that have heretofore been assigned to Justices Kern and Scarpulla in Parts 55 and 19, respectively, will remain assigned to those Justices in those Parts. Information on appearances and other developments in any of the cases affected by these reassignments, as well as most other cases in the court, may be obtained by consulting the Supreme Court Records On-Line Library (Scroll), a joint project of the County Clerk of New York County and the Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County. Scroll may be accessed on the website of the court at www.nycourts.gov/supctmanh at the “Case Information” link. There is no charge to use Scroll. Attorneys are also advised to sign up to use the court system’s e-Track case tracking and notification service. Attorneys may record in e-Track the cases in which they appear that are pending in Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County. Then, whenever a development occurs in any such case that is recorded in the court’s case history database (e.g., issuance of a decision or order, change of the scheduled date of a conference), a notification will be automatically transmitted by e-Track to counsel via e-mail. Attorneys may also schedule electronic reminders of upcoming appearances via e-Track. The e-Track application is accessible on the website of the New York State Unified Court System at http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcivil/ecourtsMain or at the “E-Courts” link from the home page at www.nycourts.gov. There is no charge to use e-Track. Certain notices of appearances that were previously provided by the court by mail will no longer be transmitted. Counsel should use e-Track to obtain notification thereof. Justice Friedman will take over Justice Fried’s courtroom (Room 248) at the beginning of August 2012. Between now and then, any delivery for Part 60 shall be made to Justice Friedman in Room 335. Counsel are reminded that most cases in Part 60 are e-filed matters. The telephone number of Part 60 will remain unchanged (646-386-3310). Justice Friedman’s Chambers and Chambers telephone will remain the same. The courtrooms and Chambers of Justices Kern and Scarpulla and their telephone numbers shall remain unchanged.
