You're right. I fixed it.

That's the only reason I post the cases. They are a pain in the ass to find otherwise.

Long story short: My wife's job moved to Ohio. She is there with the kids. I'm still here.

I don't think what I said was that far off. A change-proof career is a steady one. What's the point of an unobsoletable skill, if not to make sure that you keep your job. But I see what you mean. I took your post past its intent.

Justify. Why would you take it out? I know you intend on putting it back, but why did you remove the button?

No problem. I know, I waited over a week to respond, and all I could come up with is "no problem." There isn't much more to say. The blogosphere is full of garbage; it's nice to have you in it to pretty up the place. Thanks for stopping by.

Your best bet it to find an Appellate Division decision, from the Department you are in, where the Court found the Certificate of Conformity to be sufficient, then pull the papers. Sometimes the Clerks can be helpful and provide you with copies of certificates that they haven't rejected (for defaults). I think westlaw and lexis have forms based on prior litigation where the lower court or appellate court accepted the certificate. Unless it is profoundly screwed up, most courts accept it without issue.

It will take at least a hundred Article 78's to put a stop to the "filing judges." The rules don't matter unless they are enforced. The biggest problem is that there is no carrot or stick available. Clerks, as a general rule, do not back down or scare easy. And sweet talk will only get you so far. Although being nice usually works better than the opposite.

No research. I just remembered posting a few cases on the issue and those were two of them. With all the copying and pasting, sometimes stuff sinks in.
