The Part Assignment Changed

IAS Part 26 in Nassau County Supreme Court is assigned to Justice Gregg Roth. Justice R. Bruce Cozzens, Jr. does not appear on the roster of Nassau County Supreme Court justices published by the Unified Court System. If you are looking for the Cozzens part rules, the controlling rules for Part 26 are now the Roth part rules described below.

Communications with the Part

Justice Roth does not accept letters or emails on substantive matters without prior approval, and the part disregards communications sent without that approval. Repeat violations may result in sanctions. Telephone calls to chambers are reserved for emergencies. Scheduling questions on return dates and adjournments go to the courtroom clerk rather than to chambers.

Appearances

Counsel who appear must be familiar with the case and must have the authority to bind the client, as required by 22 NYCRR 202.1(f) and 202.1(g). The part cites 22 NYCRR 202.27 and Part 130-2 as the authority for sanctions when an appearance falls short of that standard. The part conferences most cases on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and conferences are held both in person and virtually. Instructions for a virtual conference are emailed through NYSCEF after the preliminary conference, so counsel must keep a current email address on the NYSCEF docket.

Preliminary and Compliance Conferences

Preliminary conferences under 22 NYCRR 202.19 are held in the Preliminary Conference Part, and the clerk of that part schedules them at 516-493-3101. The dates set in the preliminary conference order, including deposition dates, cannot be changed without prior approval from the court. The preliminary conference order sets the compliance conference, which under 22 NYCRR 202.19(b)(3) falls no later than 60 days before the completion of discovery.

To adjourn a compliance conference on consent, call chambers by 4:00 p.m. the day before the conference and confirm by email to JudgeRothremote@nycourts.gov, or file the request with notice to all parties. No compliance conference may be adjourned by telephone or by stipulation more than once, or for more than four weeks, without permission from the court. The certification conference is scheduled no later than 90 days before the Note of Issue date and is not adjourned without permission.

Motion Practice

All motions are made returnable to Hon. Gregg Roth, Part 26. Counsel seeking an adjournment of a return date should obtain the adversary's consent first and then arrange a conference call with the law secretary. A cross motion made returnable on a later date does not adjourn the original motion. Motions for summary judgment must be filed no later than 90 days after the Note of Issue is filed. A discovery motion must include the good faith affirmation required by 22 NYCRR 202.7(c), and the part denies discovery motions filed without one. If the deadline to file the Note of Issue passes and no Note of Issue is filed, the case is deemed abandoned.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Nassau County runs a mandatory Alternative Dispute Resolution program, and Part 26 handles it on two tracks. Settlement and ADR proceedings go before the IAS part, a Judicial Hearing Officer, or a volunteer mediator, while compliance and certification conferences remain with the IAS part.

The Part 26 rules are keyed to the Uniform Civil Rules for the Supreme Court and the County Court, 22 NYCRR Part 202, as amended by Administrative Order 151/2025 effective July 7, 2025.
