How do parties indicate consent?
By commencing a case using the NYSCEF system and/or by serving a Notice Regarding Availability of Electronic Filing, a party indicates a wish to use NYSCEF. (The party who invokes NYSCEF must also consent in the system, also recording there the party for whom he/she appears). Parties served with the Notice must respond to it promptly. Parties who wish to consent must file with the court and serve on all parties a Consent Form and must also record their consent in the NYSCEF system. If a party is represented by an attorney who has previously registered as a Filing User in connection with another case, the attorney may file and serve a Consent electronically by checking the designated box and following the instructions on the NYSCEF website. If a party does not wish to consent, the party should promptly so indicate in writing to all other parties and forward a copy of the writing to the court. The court needs to be aware of the status of the case.
