CERTIFICATE OF READINESS WHICH INDICATED FURTHER DISCOVERY WAS NECESSARY RENDERED THE FILING OF THE NOTE OF ISSUE A NULLITY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined that the filing of note of issue accompanied by a certificate of readiness which indicated more discovery was required was a nullity:

Pursuant to Uniform Rules for Trial Courts (22 NYCRR) § 202.21, a note of issue must be accompanied by a certificate of readiness, which must state that there are no outstanding requests for discovery and the case is ready for trial … .

Here, the plaintiffs’ certificate of readiness stated, among other things, that discovery proceedings had not been completed, that there were outstanding requests for discovery, and that the case was not ready for trial. Since the certificate of readiness failed to materially comply with the requirements of 22 NYCRR 202.21, the filing of the note of issue was a nullity … . Rizzo v Balish & Friedman, 2017 NY Slip Op 06307, Second Dept 8-23-17
