Location and Contact
Justice Alicia Marie Gerez presides over Part 19, the medical malpractice part, in Courtroom 600 at 851 Grand Concourse. The Part telephone number is 718-618-1377 and the Part email address is BxSupCiv-IA19A-30@nycourts.gov.
Medical Malpractice Cases
Part 19 handles medical malpractice cases. Judge Gerez issues a case management order at the preliminary conference setting discovery deadlines and trial dates.
Conferences
All conferences in Part 19 are held in person in Courtroom 600. Counsel with actual settlement authority should attend.
Motion Practice
All motions are e-filed through NYSCEF. Motion papers must comply with the CPLR and with the Part Rules on page limits and exhibits. Part 19 requires a Statement of Material Facts on a summary judgment motion, and it sets the deadline for a summary judgment motion at 90 days after the Note of Issue is filed, which is shorter than the 120 days the CPLR allows and different from the 60 days some other Bronx parts impose. Calendar the 90-day date from the Note of Issue, not from any other benchmark.
Proposed Orders in Lieu of an Appearance
Where the parties agree on the relief, the Part accepts a proposed order in lieu of a conference appearance. Submit the proposed order to the Part in advance rather than assuming the appearance is excused.

What to Expect
Judge Gerez is a thoughtful jurist who listens to both sides. She is fair but firm. She will grant reasonable extensions and adjournments if there is good cause, but she expects counsel to be prepared and professional.
Tips
- Be honest about your case. Judge Gerez respects candor. If there is a problem with your case, acknowledge it and propose a solution.
- Expert disclosures are important. Have your experts' CVs and reports ready at the preliminary conference. Late expert disclosures will be questioned.
- Mediation is encouraged. Judge Gerez may suggest mediation. Consider participating; she believes many cases can be resolved without trial.
- Deadlines are strictly enforced. This Part expects discovery deadlines to be adhered to. If there is a delay, the court does not want parties coming back at the next conference saying EBTs were not completed. If an issue arises between conferences, file a letter to the court on NYSCEF rather than waiting.
- Pre-trial orders are taken seriously. Comply with all deadlines in the case management order. Violations will result in sanctions.
- Motions should be well-briefed. Sloppy or incomplete motions will be denied. Take the time to properly brief your motion.
Recent Field Notes (Spring 2026)
- High volume of nursing home and medical malpractice compliance conferences. Recurring CCs and pretrial conferences in Part 19 frequently involve Dalli & Marino, Wilson Elser, Heidell Pittoni Murphy & Bach, Schiavetti Corgan, Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan, and similar defense shops. Counsel covering should know which defendants remain outstanding for EBT, what the lien posture is, and whether a Note of Issue date has been set.
- Court Attorney handles many issues in the courtroom. A substantial portion of conference business is resolved with Judge Gerez's court attorney rather than the judge personally. Bring followup emails, Jackson affidavits where applicable, and any prior orders so the court attorney can rule on the record without recess.
- Stipulated extensions land on long dates. When the court approves an adjournment, expect a next date several months out, particularly for pretrial conferences. Calendar accordingly and confirm any interim discovery deadlines in writing on NYSCEF.
