What to Expect
Judge Goetz is known as the "Thursday Part" due to his scheduling practices. He maintains a disciplined courtroom with high expectations for procedural compliance. This is not a casual judge—preparation and precision are essential.
Critical Tips
- Handwritten stipulations in black ink only. This is non-negotiable. If submitted via NYSCEF, they must appear as handwritten (no typed reproductions).
- Watch the 60-day SJ deadline after Note of Issue. This timeline is strictly enforced. File early if you're planning a motion.
- Punctuality is mandatory. Arriving late to this part reflects poorly and may result in sanctions.
- Know the applicable law. Judge Goetz expects well-researched motion papers with proper citations.
