The return date is the court date. The party making the motion chooses the court date and puts it in the Notice of Motion so everyone knows when to come to court. NYSCEF wants to know the court date and has a calendar button to find the court date you picked.
Motions made by notice of motion and petitions and notices of petition in special proceedings are processed by the General Clerk's Office (Room 119) and are to be made returnable in the Motion Submission Part Courtroom (Room 130) on any business day of the week at AM.
Where are motions returnable? Motions are returnable to 851 Grand Concourse Bronx, New York 10451 in room 217.
Your request must be in writing, and typed or neatly handwritten. At the top, include the case number and the heading, Objections to Magistrate's Decision or Motion to Set Aside Order. You must include the date of the order or decision and the specific reasons for your motion or objection.
A motion may be withdrawn at any time prior to its return date by filing with the clerk a written request signed by counsel for the moving party.
Decisions. If the motion or OSC can't be settled, the Judge will make a decision. Sometimes, the Judge makes a decision right away. If not, the Judge has 60 days by law to decide the motion.
