Robert I. Caloras, J.

The following e-filed documents, listed by NYSCEF under the motion as: 65-75, were read on the motion by Plaintiff for an order extending the Plaintiff's time to file a Note of Issue and Certificate of Readiness for Trial.

Upon the foregoing documents, it is ordered that the motion by Plaintiff is granted without opposition. Based on the moving papers and the Court file, there has been scant discovery since before January 2024. Apparently, the parties were waiting for the scheduling of a certification conference in the Compliance Part. This Court reminds the attorneys that there is no rule prohibiting discovery scheduling, conducting, and demanding a Note of Issue date without Court intervention. In fact, one only need read the applicable CPLR sections and be "reminded" that the parties are supposed to conduct discovery without Court intervention. However, it is

ORDERED, that the Clerk is directed to schedule a Certification Conference in Part CSCP2 on or before January 30, 2025; and it is

ORDERED, that the Note of Issue date is extended to February 27, 2026.

DATED: August 20, 2025
