Within how many days must a motion for leave to reargue be made after service of copy of the order and written notice of the entry?

• A. 15 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 45 days
• D. 60 days

Answer: (B)

The timing hinges on how long you have to ask the court for permission to revisit a ruling. In New York, a motion for leave to reargue must be served within 30 days after you are served with a copy of the order and written notice of its entry. The clock starts when that notice of entry is served, not from the date of the order itself. This creates a concrete window to show the court that it overlooked or misapplied matters previously argued. A practical nuance: if service is by mail, you add five days, making the period effectively longer in that scenario. But the standard timeframe the rule sets is 30 days.
