How long do I have to wait for a decision or order from the judge?
Answer
Civil Practice Law and Rules 2219 Time and Form of Order and Civil Practice Law and Rules 4213 (c) Decision of the Court define the amount of time by which a judge must issue orders and decision. Court Rule 202.48 (c)(2) also states deadlines. McKinney's Practice Commentaries to these sections provides valuable guidance and should be read before taking any action to prompt a decision or order. Another good explanation is in § 250. Deciding the Motion; Drawing and Entering the Order, Siegel, N.Y. Prac. § 250 (6th ed.) available in public access law libraries.
