N.Y. Real Property Law § 410: Notice of filed papers

§ 410. Notice of filed papers. All papers filed by the registrar, and

indexed and entered by him pursuant to this article, shall be of equal

effect as to notice, in the order of their filing as shown by their

filing numbers, as are similar papers when recorded by county clerk or

registers under the recording acts. Should an action for registration be

discontinued or otherwise terminated without registration, an order of

court to that effect shall be filed with the registrar, who shall at

once cause all the papers relating to the title to the property

affected, filed with him, except the notice of application and said

order, to be recorded or filed, and indexed, by the county clerk or

register (as the case requires) in the order of their filing, on payment

of the statutory fees.
