General
Part 92 is an IAS part at 360 Adams Street, Courtroom 541. All communications regarding court operations must comply with these Part Rules. Non-compliant communications will be disregarded.
Motion Calendar
Beginning July 9, 2026, the weekly Part 92 motion calendar is heard in person every Thursday starting at 10:30 AM in Courtroom 541 on the fifth floor. Attorneys must check in with the Part Clerk at 10:30 AM. If the moving party is not present after the second calendar call, the court will deny the motion for failure to appear, and that applies whether or not the attorney checked in on time. When the calendar requires it, the court continues to hear motions from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, but only for cases whose attorneys checked in by the second call that morning. The attorney who appears must know the case and must have authority to enter into agreements for the client, because the court will rule on the information presented rather than adjourn for a better-prepared appearance.

Court Personnel

Motion Practice
Summary Judgment: 60 days after Notice of Issue (NOI) per Kings County Uniform Rules.
Orders to Show Cause: Must comply with 22 NYCRR 202.7, 202.8-d, and 202.8-e. Orders to Show Cause are only appropriate for genuine urgency (such as temporary restraining order applications), stays, or statutory mandates requiring immediate court action.
Proof of Service: Must be filed on NYSCEF before the return date. For non-NYSCEF cases, proof of service must be either emailed to ksccvpart92@nycourts.gov or presented in person on the return date.
Communication Protocol
All inquiries about adjournments and scheduling must be directed to the Part Clerk at 347-401-9233 or ksccvpart92@nycourts.gov. Opposing counsel must be copied on all emails. Ex parte communications are strictly prohibited. Do not call chambers directly to request adjournments; use the Part Clerk.
Discovery and Conferences
Discovery conferences and discovery motions are directed to the Central Compliance Part (347-296-1626 or kscccp@nycourts.gov) or the Final Conference/NOI Part (347-401-9054 or kscfcnoi@nycourts.gov). Do not bring discovery disputes directly to Part 92.
Adjournments
One adjournment is permitted as of right unless the objecting party shows immediate injury or harm. If a second request is contested, counsel must appear in person and apply to the court on a showing of good cause. No more than two adjournments are permitted on any motion, even by stipulation. An adjournment application must be filed in writing on the case docket and emailed to ksccvpart92@nycourts.gov at least two business days before the return date, and for non-NYSCEF cases the fully executed stipulation goes to the same address. A request filed later than two business days before the return date will be rejected.
Virtual Appearances
The weekly motion calendar is in person as of July 9, 2026. The part still maintains a virtual courtroom on Microsoft Teams for oral arguments the court directs to be heard virtually, and the published rules link to that courtroom.
Filing Requirements
NYSCEF is mandatory for all motions and papers.
Practitioner Intelligence
From attorneys who have appeared in this part. Last updated: August 5, 2026.
What to Expect
Judge Levine runs a straightforward courtroom with clear expectations. She has been on the bench for nearly two decades and knows her calendar well. Attorneys are expected to follow the Part Rules precisely, particularly around communication and adjournment requests. If you need to reach chambers, go through the Part Clerk. Do not call chambers directly for adjournments.
Tips
- The motion calendar is in person now. As of July 9, 2026, Part 92 hears its weekly motion calendar in person on Thursdays at 10:30 AM in Courtroom 541. Send a live body, not a Teams login. Check in with the Part Clerk at 10:30 AM, because a movant who is absent after the second call loses the motion for failure to appear.
- Do not leave after checking in. The court may carry matters to an afternoon session that runs from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and only attorneys who checked in by the second morning call are heard then. Budget the full day for a contested motion.
- Ex parte is strictly prohibited. All emails to the court must copy opposing counsel. Non-compliant communications will be disregarded.
- Adjournment requests go to the Part Clerk, two business days out. Do not call chambers to request an adjournment. File the request on the docket and email it to ksccvpart92@nycourts.gov at least two business days before the return date, because a late request is rejected. Two adjournments is the ceiling on any motion, even on consent.
- Discovery goes through Central Compliance. Do not bring discovery disputes directly to Part 92. Discovery conferences and motions are handled by the Central Compliance Part (347-296-1626) or the Final Conference/NOI Part (347-401-9054).
- Proof of service before return date. Make sure your proof of service is on NYSCEF before the motion return date. This is strictly enforced.
Recent Field Notes (Spring 2026)
- Merchant Cash Advance summary judgment motions. Part 92 carries a steady volume of MCA collection cases. For any motion appearance in an MCA matter, the court expects counsel to be ready with four specific numbers on the record: the amount advanced to the merchant, the amount repaid by the merchant, the outstanding balance, and the date of the alleged breach. Have these in front of you before the case is called.
- Partial relief is common. On contested MSJ applications, the court will frequently award a sum certain below the full requested figure rather than the entire ledger. Counsel should be prepared to accept partial relief and to draft and upload a proposed order to NYSCEF reflecting the amount the court actually awarded.
- Remote appearance link reuse. Confirmed again in 2026: when Part 92 adjourns a matter to a new virtual date, the original Microsoft Teams link from the first notice is the link for the next appearance. No fresh invite is generated. Calendar the original link forward.
