N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 3014: Statements

Rule 3014. Statements. Every pleading shall consist of plain and

concise statements in consecutively numbered paragraphs. Each paragraph

shall contain, as far as practicable, a single allegation. Reference to

and incorporation of allegations may subsequently be by number. Prior

statements in a pleading shall be deemed repeated or adopted

subsequently in the same pleading whenever express repetition or

adoption is unnecessary for a clear presentation of the subsequent

matters. Separate causes of action or defenses shall be separately

stated and numbered and may be stated regardless of consistency. Causes

of action or defenses may be stated alternatively or hypothetically. A

copy of any writing which is attached to a pleading is a part thereof

for all purposes.
