(a) Calendar Preference.
(1) By letter. A party seeking
and entitled by law to a preference in the hearing of an appeal shall provide
prompt notice by letter to the court setting forth the basis for such
preference.
(2) By
motion. A party not entitled to a preference by law may move for a calendar
preference for good cause shown.
(b) Calendar Notice. Notification that a cause has been placed on the calendar shall be published on the court's website. The court may also arrange for publication of such notice in a daily law journal or other newspaper or periodical regularly published within the Judicial Department.
(c) Oral Argument.
(1) Oral Argument Generally.
Oral argument shall be permitted unless proscribed by court rule or, in a
particular cause, by the court in its discretion. Parties who do not file a
brief on appeal shall not be permitted to argue a cause.
(2) Oral Argument by
Permission. Where oral argument is proscribed by rule, a party may seek leave
of the court therefor by filing of a letter application, on notice to all
parties, or by motion where required by the court, within 7 days of the filing
of the respondent's brief. The application or motion shall specify the reasons
why oral argument is appropriate and the amount of time requested.
(3) Failure to Request Oral
Argument. In the event that any party's main brief shall fail to set forth the
appropriate notations indicating that the cause is to be argued and the time
required for argument, the cause will be deemed to have been submitted without
oral argument by that party.
(4) Failure to Appear for Oral
Argument. Where counsel or a self-represented litigant fails to appear timely
for oral argument, the matter shall be deemed to have been submitted without
oral argument by that party.
(5) Rebuttal. Prior to beginning
argument, the appellant may orally request permission to reserve a specific
number of minutes for rebuttal in the First and Third Judicial Departments. The
time reserved shall be subtracted from the total time assigned to the
appellant. The respondent may not request permission to reserve time for
sur-rebuttal.
(d) Post-Argument Submissions. Post-argument submissions are discouraged, and may be made only with leave of the court.
