The court lists this Justice as Hon. Gina Abadi. She sits in the Civil Term of Kings County Supreme Court, Part 18, at 360 Adams Street, in Courtroom 929. Part 18 is a general civil part, and it carries the ordinary Kings County civil inventory rather than a specialized docket.

Her part personnel are Principal Law Clerk Christine G. Ortiz, Esq., Assistant Law Clerk Audrey O'Brian, Esq., and Part Clerk Janel Winfree.

Filing and Appearance Notes

Confirm all rules with the Part Clerk. Published Part Rules govern.

E-Filing

Matters before Part 18 proceed through NYSCEF where e-filing applies. The published Part 18 rules state that hard copies are not required, except affidavits of service on orders to show cause. Counsel may still bring a specific exhibit or affidavit in hard copy, because the bench is not always equipped with a computer.

Motions and Appearances

An in-person appearance is required on all motions, and in-person oral argument is required on all motions. The published rules recognize only two exceptions: the parties resolved the motion on consent and uploaded a proposed order through NYSCEF at least three business days before the return date, and the movant received confirmation from the Part Clerk that an appearance is not necessary. Opposition or reply papers received after 12:00 p.m. on the day before the motion is heard may not be considered.

Oral argument is heard at 9:30 a.m. when all sides are present. The calendar is then called at 9:45 a.m. for cases beginning with a number or with last names A through M, and at 10:30 a.m. for N through Z. There is no second call. A motion may be decided on default where a party fails to file papers and appear, fails to submit a consent order, or fails to obtain an adjournment. See 22 NYCRR 202.27.

Adjournments

The published rules direct counsel not to call or email the court for an adjournment. Adjournments are granted only on consent of all parties by NYSCEF filing, at least three business days before the initial return date, and only if the motion has never been adjourned. A first-time-on motion may be adjourned to a Wednesday no more than six weeks from the return date, and the stipulation must contain a briefing schedule. After a first adjournment, an in-person appearance is required to obtain the court's consent.

Discovery and Subpoenas

All discovery matters are handled in the Central Compliance Part, reachable at (347) 296-1626. Judicial subpoenas must be approved by the Subpoenaed Records Office and made returnable to the Subpoenaed Records Room at 360 Adams Street, 6th Floor. Justice Abadi will not so-order a subpoena that an attorney may issue without a judicial signature, including a nonparty subpoena. See CPLR 2302. Approved subpoenas are dropped in the basket outside Courtroom 929, and the part does not accept subpoenas electronically.
