Post-Hearing Order Submission in New York
NOT LEGAL ADVICE. The 60-day settle-order clock is
jurisdictional in many courts. Missing it forfeits the
right to settle the order.
When this skill applies
After the Justice rules on a motion, one of three things
happens:
- Short-form Decision and Order — the Justice writes
the decision on the proposed order itself; no further
submission needed. The order is filed by chambers via
NYSCEF.
- Decision directs settle order — "Settle order on
notice" or "Settle order on submission"; the prevailing
party must submit a proposed order within 60 days.
- Decision is self-executing — no order needed (rare).
This skill covers #2: the settle-order procedure.
The 22 NYCRR § 202.48 framework
Day 0: Justice issues Decision directing settle order
Day 0–60: Prevailing party drafts proposed order
Day X: Prevailing party serves proposed order on opposing
party (≥10 days before submission)
Day X+5: Opposing party may serve a counter-order
Day X+10: Prevailing party submits proposed order to chambers,
attaching counter-order (if served) and a cover
letter discussing differences
Day ≤60: Prevailing party submits to chambers; missing this
deadline is fatal absent extension
On notice v. on submission
| Direction | Procedure |
|---|
| "Settle order on notice" | Serve proposed order on opposing party 10 days before submission; opposing may serve counter-order within 5 days |
| "Settle order on submission" | Submit proposed order to chambers without separate service (NYSCEF service of the filing is sufficient) |
Proposed-order content
The proposed order should track the Justice's decision
exactly:
- Use the decision's exact language for the relief granted
- Do not add relief not granted in the decision
- Do not omit relief granted in the decision
- Use the decretal "ORDERED that..." format
See ny-draft-order for the proposed-order template.
