To file a motion for contempt in New York, certain criteria must be met. There must be an existing order of the court that is clear and unambiguous, and the accused must be proven to have known about this order and willfully disobeyed it.
Bronx County is located within the 12th Judicial District and contains several different trial courts. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has jurisdiction in Bronx County. Appeals from the Southern District go to the United States Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.
The Civil Term, Bronx Supreme Court, handles civil cases over $50,000. The majority of the cases involve medical malpractice, labor laws, motor vehicle cases and other torts (civil cases designed to provide relief to persons who have been harmed due to the wrongful act of others).
The Civil Court has monetary jurisdiction up to $50,000.00, including replevin when the value of the chattel does not exceed that amount.
The Constitution states that the Supreme Court has both original and appellate jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction means that the Supreme Court is the first, and only, Court to hear a case.
DISTRICT COURT They have criminal jurisdiction over misdemeanors and lesser offenses (cases that carry a term of imprisonment of no more than one year), and also conduct arraignments in felony cases. They have civil jurisdiction over claims up to $15,000 and small claims matters not in excess of $5,000.
Supreme Court is the trial court of unlimited original jurisdiction, but it generally only hears cases that are outside the jurisdiction of other trial courts of more limited jurisdiction. It exercises civil jurisdiction and jurisdiction over felony charges.
Under a motion for summary judgment, the movant should assert that a fact cannot be genuinely disputed based on the record. The nonmovant is given notice and a reasonable time to respond, after which the court may grant or deny summary judgment.
Thus, if a plaintiff fails to respond to a motion for summary judgment, on all or a subset of the claims, the Court will order the plaintiff to show cause why the claim should not be considered abandoned.
Summary Judgment Motions: Motions for summary judgment must be filed no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the note of issue is filed. 1. Statement of Material Facts: All parties moving for summary judgment must include a separate statement of material facts (22 NYCRR §202.8-g).
