The Chief Administrative Judge of New York State issued this press release, providing the new uniform rules of the Commerical Division of the Supreme Court.  Of particular note is a 60-rule that requires (using the term "shall") to send a letter to the court informing the Justice that 60-days has passed from the time of submission of the motion papers or oral argument on the motion, whichever is later.  The rule is discussed at Sui Generis and New York Attorney Malpractice Blog.

Perhaps dotting your "i"s with smiley faces will help you cut the appearance of being a pest and avoid falling out of the Justice’s good graces.
