Which event starts the 22 NYCRR 202.70(g), Rule 14 requirement?

Read the actual Part Rules first. Establish that they are silent about disclosure disputes.

Retain the incoming letter and evidence of actual receipt, following the unsuccessful good-faith consultation.

Responsible actor. An affected opposing party or nonparty receiving the dispute letter. The Rule 14 letter procedure only, where the justice’s Part Rules do not address disclosure disputes.

22 NYCRR 202.70(g), Rule 14

How are the four business days counted?

  1. Read the actual Part Rules first. Establish that they are silent about disclosure disputes.
  2. Retain the incoming letter and evidence of actual receipt, following the unsuccessful good-faith consultation.
  3. Exclude the receipt day and count four business days, omitting Saturdays, Sundays and statutory public holidays.
  4. Submit the responsive letter to the court within four business days. Limit it to three single-spaced pages and follow the actual submission instructions.

Exclude the receipt day and count four business days, omitting Saturdays, Sundays and statutory public holidays. The independent calendar follows GCL 24 and Election Law 8-100. It includes Lincoln’s Birthday, the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, Juneteenth and general election day. GCL 24 adds the following day for a listed Sunday holiday except Flag Day. It does not generally move a Saturday holiday to Friday. Dates after 2027 are projections of the reviewed standing statute through 2033, not proof of future court openings. Check amendments, additional appointed holidays and actual closures separately.

The scoped calculators accept independently established events in 2026 and 2027 and projected final dates through 2033. They require the particular disclosed branch, no unsupported service-method addition, no unmodeled toll, no different actual court order and no additional closure. Earlier editions, historical tolls and outside dates require separate review and receive no computed or paid date. This software boundary does not establish that an act is legally late.
