§  8020.  County  clerks  as  clerks of court. Whenever a county clerk
renders a service in his capacity as clerk of the supreme  or  a  county
court,  in  an  action pending in such court, he is entitled to the fees
specified in this section, payable in advance.
(a) Placing cause on calendar. For placing a cause on a  calendar  for
trial  or  inquest, one hundred twenty-five dollars in the supreme court
and county court; except that where rules of the chief administrator  of
the  courts  require that a request for judicial intervention be made in
an action pending in supreme court or county  court,  the  county  clerk
shall  be  entitled  to  a  fee of ninety-five dollars, payable before a
judge may be assigned pursuant to  such  request,  and  thereafter,  for
placing  such  a  cause  on  a calendar for trial or inquest, the county
clerk shall be entitled to an additional fee of thirty dollars,  and  no
other fee may be charged thereafter pursuant to this subdivision; except
that  the  county clerk shall be entitled to a fee of forty-five dollars
upon the filing of each motion or cross motion in such action.  However,
no  fee  shall be imposed for a motion which seeks leave to proceed as a
poor person pursuant to subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred one of
this chapter.
(b) Calendar fee for  transferred  cause,  joint  trial,  retrial,  or
separate  trial.  Where a cause which has been placed upon a calendar is
transferred before trial to a court for which a larger calendar  fee  is
prescribed, the difference in calendar fee shall be paid at the time the
cause  is  placed  upon the calendar of the latter court, except that no
additional fee shall be required when the action is transferred for  the
purpose  of  consolidation  or  trial  jointly  with  another action. No
separate calendar fee shall be imposed for a retrial of a cause  or  for
the trial of a separate issue in a cause.
(c) Filing demand for jury trial. For filing a demand for a jury trial
in  the  following  counties,  where  the  right to a jury trial is duly
demanded:
1. in the counties within the city of New York, sixty-five dollars  in
the supreme court;
2.  in all other counties, sixty-five dollars in the supreme court and
county court.
(d) Filing a stipulation of settlement or a voluntary  discontinuance.
For  filing  a  stipulation  of  settlement  pursuant to rule twenty-one
hundred four of this chapter or a notice,  stipulation,  or  certificate
pursuant to subdivision (d) of rule thirty-two hundred seventeen of this
chapter, the defendant shall file and pay:
1. in the counties within the city of New York, thirty-five dollars in
the supreme court.
2. in all other counties, thirty-five dollars in the supreme court and
county court.
Provided,  however,  that  only one such fee shall be charged for each
notice, stipulation or certificate filed pursuant to this subdivision.
(e) Jury fee for transferred cause, joint trial, retrial  or  separate
trial.  Where  a  cause in which a jury has been demanded is transferred
before trial to a court for which a larger jury fee is  prescribed,  the
difference in the jury fee shall be paid at the time the cause is placed
upon  the  calendar  of  the latter court, except that no additional fee
shall be required when the action is  transferred  for  the  purpose  of
consolidation  or  trial jointly with another action in which a jury fee
has previously been paid. No separate jury fee shall be  imposed  for  a
retrial of a cause or for the trial of a separate issue in a cause.
(f) Certification, exemplification, and copies of papers.
1.  For  issuing  any  certificate, in counties within the city of New
York, eight dollars, and in all other counties, four dollars, except  as
otherwise expressly provided in this article.
2.  For  a certificate of exemplification, exclusive of certification,
in counties within the city of New York, twenty-five dollars, and in all
other counties, ten dollars.
(g) Searches. For certifying to a search of any court  records  for  a
consecutive  two-year  period  or  fraction  thereof,  for  each name so
searched, five dollars.
(h) Production of court records. For  each  day  or  part  thereof  in
attendance  in  any  action  pursuant  to a subpoena duces tecum, twenty
dollars, and in addition thereto, mileage fees of twelve cents per  mile
each way and the necessary expenses of the messenger, except that if the
subpoena  duces  tecum  be  served  within the city of New York, and the
place of attendance  is  within  the  city  of  New  York,  then  actual
transportation costs shall be charged instead of the mileage fees.
