Kings County Supreme Court CCP

The Centralized Compliance Part (CCP) of the Supreme Court, Kings County is where all civil litigation must pass.  Case conferences as well as discovery motions are heard in the Part which makes for two lengthy calendars, a crowded courtroom, and sometimes orders that are not issued until afternoon.  The mandatory calendar call is not held until 10:45, and the default calendar at 11:45.  If the parties cannot resolve a discovery dispute among themselves the matter will be heard by a court attorney referee who will ultimately refer the matter to the Individual Assignment Part judge if a resolution cannot be mediated.  In the event that the matter is referred to the IAS Part, it is unlikely that it will be heard and decided that day but will instead be sua sponte scheduled for an available return date in accordance with the given IAS Part calendar.      

The link to the Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term Rules is provided below.  The rules for CCP are found within section E.
