As a Pro Se I am considering in filing an Order to Show Cause and submit supporting documents to a New York Supreme Court. My understanding is that I will personally present this to the judge. I reviewed 22 NYCRR � 202.7 and it appears that I do not need to notify opposing counsel/parties that I am submitting an Order to Show Cause. It would be until the court returns the Order to me and at that time that I would forward the Order to Show Cause to opposing counsel/parties.
Exception � When filling a temporary injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order than I would be obligated in providing notice to opposing counsel/parties prior to the filing of a Order to Show Cause with the court.
INQUIRY � Do you need to provide notice to opposing counsel/parties notifying them that I am filing an Order to Show Cause if I am filing an Order to Show Cause that has noting to do with temporary injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order?
Once the judge signs the order, you will have the court's directive regarding the manner of service. No prior notice is required.
