Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

oppostion papers

I am a plaintiff pro se in Civil Court. defendant is filing a motion to compel for a deposition of my attorney in another currently ongoing litigation. The cases are related but the parties aren't the same. what would the answering papers for something like that be called, and also, if I file opposition papers but don't appear in Court, will my papers still be taken into account?

Re: oppostion papers

Answering papers would be an "Affidavit in Opposition." Generally, in Civil Court an individual must appear on the return date of the motion. Whether or not your papers would be taken into account depends on the Judge.
