N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 2213: Where motion made, in county court action

§ 2213. Where motion made, in county court action. (a) Ex parte

motions. A motion in an action in a county court that may be made

without notice may be made before a motion term of the county court or

before the county judge out of court in any county in the state.

(b) Motions that may be made before the supreme court or a justice

thereof. When no motion term is being held and there is no county judge

available within the county, any motion in an action in a county court,

whether or not on notice, may be made or noticed to be heard before a

motion term of the supreme court or, upon order to show cause granted by

a justice of the supreme court, before such justice out of court, in the

judicial district where the action is triable or in a county adjoining

the county where the action is triable, except a motion under article

forty-four or a motion for an order that would dispose of the action, in

whole or in part, in any manner other than by settlement under section

1207.

(c) The chief administrator of the courts may by rule exclude motions

from the operation of this section within a department, district or

county.
