STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________

10076

IN SENATE

April 27, 2026 ___________

Introduced by Sen. MYRIE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Procurement and Contracts

AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to author- izing a discontinuance without an order in actions where an unrepre- sented party has not responded to a request for a stipulation

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows:

1 Section 1. Paragraph 3 of subdivision (a) of rule 3217 of the civil 2 practice law and rules, as amended by chapter 278 of the laws of 1999, 3 is amended and a new paragraph 4 is added to read as follows: 4 3. by filing with the clerk of the court before the case has been 5 submitted to the court or jury a certificate or notice of discontinuance 6 stating that any parcel of land which is the subject matter of the 7 action is to be excluded pursuant to title three of article eleven of 8 the real property tax law[ . ] ; or 9 4. where a defendant not appearing by attorney has served a responsive 10 pleading, by filing with the clerk of the court a stipulation in writing 11 signed by the attorney of record for all parties appearing by attorney 12 and all defendants not appearing by attorney, provided that no party is 13 an infant, incompetent person for whom a committee has been appointed or 14 conservatee and no person who is not a party has an interest in the 15 subject matter of the action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an 16 action in which a defendant not appearing by attorney has served a 17 responsive pleading but has interposed no counterclaim, cross-claim or 18 third-party claim, a stipulation discontinuing an action as against such 19 defendant may be filed without the signature of that defendant provided 20 that the discontinuance shall be with prejudice as to the claims discon- 21 tinued, and further provided that the party filing such stipulation 22 files an affirmation demonstrating that sixty days have elapsed since 23 the stipulation was mailed to that defendant by first-class mail and no 24 reply was received from that defendant. 25 § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall 26 have become a law.
