New York Order to Show Cause to Settle a Final Report is a court order issued by a judge in New York to compel a party to appear in court and explain why the court should not issue a final order or judgment. This order requires the party to show cause why the court should not enter a final order or judgment based on the facts of the case. The order is usually issued when one party fails to comply with the terms of a prior court order or fails to appear in court. There are two types of New York Order to Show Cause to Settle a Final Report: an Order to Show Cause for Summary Judgment and an Order to Show Cause for Default Judgment. An Order to Show Cause for Summary Judgment calls upon the defendant to show cause why summary judgment should not be granted in favor of the plaintiff. An Order to Show Cause for Default Judgment requires the defendant to show cause why the court should not enter a default judgment against them. In either case, the defendant must appear in court to explain why the court should not enter a final order or judgment.
