The parties must strictly comply with all court-ordered discovery deadlines; parties may not stipulate to extend court-ordered deadlines.   ["discovery-scheduling", "compliance-conference", "preliminary-conference", "conference-procedures"] ["Commercial Division Rule 8", "Commercial Division Rule 10", "Commercial Division Rule 11-h"] 1 New York supreme part_rules

Cross-motions which seek relief against a party other than the party making the initial motion DO NOT relate back to the date the original motion was made and must be filed within 120 days of the filing of the note of issue. 4 ["summary-judgment", "note-of-issue", "deadlines"] ["CPLR 3212"] 1 New York supreme part_rules

The parties are directed to update the Court (via NYSCEF) about the status of discovery at least a week prior to the scheduled conference. Non-specific statements such as 'all discovery not yet provided' or 'to the extent not yet provided' will not preserve any rights. A note of issue may not be filed until there is a conference order granting permission. Trial authorizations must be provided 90 days before trial. 4 ["conference-procedures", "discovery-scheduling", "note-of-issue", "pre-trial-conference"] [] 1 New York supreme part_rules
