Synopsis

In this nonpayment proceeding, the court declined to strike the tenant's reply papers after the landlord moved to dismiss the petition on only one day's notice. Exercising its discretion under CPLR 2214(b) and CPLR 406, the court allowed the reply papers, finding that limiting litigants to half-arguments would not serve the goal of a just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of proceedings under CPLR 104.
