New York Order Extending Plaintiffs Time To Serve Summons is a court order issued by a judge in the state of New York that provides additional time for a plaintiff to serve a summons to a defendant. This order is available under New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPR) Section 306(b). This order is typically issued when the plaintiff has attempted to serve the summons but has been unable to do so. It is important to note that this order is only available in civil cases, not criminal cases. There are two types of New York Order Extending Plaintiff's Time To Serve Summons: 1) an Order of Extension of Time to Serve Summons; and 2) an Order of Renewal of Extension of Time to Serve Summons. An Order of Extension of Time to Serve Summons will extend the time limit for the plaintiff to serve the summons by up to one year, as specified by the court. An Order of Renewal of Extension of Time to Serve Summons will renew the original Order of Extension of Time to Serve Summons and allow the plaintiff to serve the summons for an additional year.
