§  923.  Current  docket  books  and filing for Bronx county. 1.   The   county clerk of Bronx county must keep books  to  be  known  as  current   docket   books.   Each  half  page  of  space  in  each  book  shall  be   consecutively numbered in a series of consecutive numbers for each  year   and shall be devoted to one action. On a half page so numbered the clerk   shall  enter  the title of the action having the same consecutive number   for that year, with the names  of  the  plaintiffs  and  defendants  and   attorneys  in  full,  and  in chronological order a brief description of   each paper as it is filed, together with the  date  of  filing  thereof,   also  the verdict, report or decision, if any, rendered in the action as   of the date of the rendering thereof, also all orders and  judgments  in   the   action.   All   interlocutory  and  provisional  proceedings,  and   proceedings supplementary to execution, shall be  entered  on  the  same   half page of the docket as the action out of which they arise, except in   actions  where  the  entries are so voluminous as to require one or more   additional half pages of space, in  which  case  the  entries  shall  be   continued under the same number upon other pages of that or a subsequent   docket book, reference thereto being entered at the end of the first and   all  additional  half pages, and the clerk upon entering the description   of a paper filed in an action  shall  enter  upon  its  front  page  and   opposite  the title caption the number of the action and the filing date   and number of entry of the paper.2. There shall be kept  an  alphabetical  index  of  all  the  actions   entered  in such current docket books during any year, which index shall   consist of two sets of separate volumes, one set to  be  designated  and   used  for  indexing  actions  wherein  the  plaintiff  or plaintiffs are   individuals, including all individual members of a copartnership or of a   firm doing business under a firm name or style as stated in the title of   the action, and the other set to be designated  and  used  for  indexing   actions  wherein  the  plaintiff or plaintiffs are corporations, a joint   stock company, a copartnership or a firm name or  style  under  which  a   person  or persons are doing business.  Each of such sets of index books   shall have a separate volume for each letter  of  the  alphabet,  except   that  the  county  clerk  may,  in his discretion, include more than one   letter in a volume when convenience will  be  served,  and  the  volumes   designated  and  used  for  indexing  actions  wherein  the plaintiff or   plaintiffs are individuals shall have a marginal page index showing each   letter of the alphabet in order, and shall have the designation  of  its   set  of  books,  its letter and the year or years of its entries plainly   marked on its back and cover and on every page. And all of such  actions   shall  be  indexed in such index volumes according to all the plaintiffs   of each title, in the same manner as it  is  provided  in  section  nine   hundred  twenty-three  of  this  chapter  that judgment debtors shall be   docketed in the judgment docket books, and  in  every  case  the  serial   number of the action shall be entered opposite the name indexed.3. Whenever an action is transferred to another court, or the place of   trial changed, the clerk to whom the papers in such action are delivered   shall enter in the current docket book in which he makes entries, copies   of  all  entries  theretofore made in said action, and shall continue to   make subsequent entries therein in the same manner as if the process had   originally been filed with him. All  papers  numbered  and  docketed  as   herein  directed  shall  be  filed  together;  and on the entry of final   judgment in any action all the papers in that action shall  be  arranged   in the order of the dates on which they were filed and shall be fastened   or bound together flat with the judgment-roll and so filed.
