Mineola Courthouse
Justice Grimaldi sits at the Nassau County Supreme Court civil courthouse at 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola, NY 11501. Appearances are in person unless the court has specifically authorized otherwise.
Motions and Conferences
Motions in Part 35 are returnable on Mondays only. All conferences are held on Thursdays, in person, at 9:30 AM. Oral argument on a motion is heard only on request and at the court’s discretion.
Adjournments
Adjournment requests go to the part email address and nowhere else. The Part Rules direct counsel not to telephone chambers. A request must be made no later than 24 hours before the scheduled date, and counsel must obtain the adversary’s consent before asking. A stipulated adjournment date is a request to the court, not a granted adjournment.
Discovery Motions
Before filing a discovery motion, counsel must email the part and participate in a conference call with the court. The pre-motion process is a condition of filing, not a courtesy.
Communications
The Part Rules instruct counsel not to call chambers unless the court has directed them to do so. Written communication runs through JudgeGrimaldiRemote@nycourts.gov.
NYSCEF Filing
Nassau County Supreme Court requires NYSCEF filing for most civil matters. Conference orders, discovery orders, and case management directives are docketed through NYSCEF. Confirm that all prior conference orders are on the docket before the conference.
Practitioner Intelligence
From attorneys who have appeared in this part. These are observed patterns, not published court policy. Last updated: August 5, 2026.
Discovery Proceeds on the Court's Timeline
Attorneys report that Justice Grimaldi will not stay or adjourn a conference because a summary judgment motion is pending. Discovery continues on the part's schedule regardless of the motion posture. Do not arrive expecting to trade a discovery schedule for motion priority. The Part Rules do not address this point, so treat it as a pattern rather than a rule.
What You Need to Know
- Do not count on an adjournment for a pending MSJ. Requests to hold a conference until summary judgment is decided have been denied. Come with dates you can live with.
- Real discovery dates. Expect specific deadlines for paper discovery, depositions, and any outstanding authorizations. Those deadlines are enforced.
- Move in parallel. If you have a dispositive motion in mind, file it and keep discovery moving. Do not plan around a pause in motion practice.
- Calendar around the part's two fixed days. Motions are heard on Mondays and conferences on Thursdays at 9:30 AM, so a matter that misses its day waits a full week.
- Ask for an adjournment in writing and early. The part takes requests by email only, at least 24 hours out, and only after your adversary consents. A telephone call to chambers will not be entertained.
Practice Notes from Recent Appearances
At a March 2026 appearance, the court directed discovery dates forward notwithstanding a pending plaintiff MSJ. Do not assume Nassau will behave the way some downstate parts do when summary judgment is on the horizon. Discovery is the priority until the dispositive motion is decided.
