N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 5207: Enforcement involving the state

§ 5207. Enforcement involving the state. None of the procedures for

the enforcement of money judgments are applicable to a judgment against

the state. All procedures for the enforcement of money judgments against

other judgment debtors are applicable to the state, its officers,

agencies and subdivisions, as a garnishee, except where otherwise

prescribed by law, and except that an order in such a procedure shall

only provide for the payment of moneys not claimed by the state, and no

judgment shall be entered against the state, or any officer, department,

board or commission thereof, in such a procedure. This section shall not

be deemed to grant any court jurisdiction to hear and determine claims

or actions against the state not otherwise given by law to such court.
