2212 - Where motion made, in supreme court action.

§  2212.  Where  motion  made, in supreme court action. (a) Motions on  notice. A motion on notice in an action in the supreme  court  shall  be  noticed to be heard in the judicial district where the action is triable  or  in a county adjoining the county where the action is triable. Unless  statute, civil practice rule or local court rule provides otherwise, the  motion shall be noticed to be heard before a motion term or, upon  order  to show cause granted by a justice, before that justice out of court.    (b)  Ex parte motions. A motion in an action in the supreme court that  may be made without notice may be made at a motion term or to a  justice  out of court in any county in the state.    (c) Motions before a county court or judge. The chief administrator of  the  courts  may by rule provide for the hearing of motions on notice or  ex parte motions in an action or proceeding in the supreme  court  by  a  term  of the county court or a county judge in the county in which venue  is laid during periods in which no supreme court trial or  special  term  is in session in the county.    (d)  Rules  of  the  chief  administrator  of  the  courts.  The chief  administrator may by rule exclude motions within a department,  district  or  county  from  the  operation of subdivisions (a),(b) and (c) of this  section, provided, however, that the practice  in  counties  within  the  city of New York shall be uniform.
