I saw a “NINA” date listed on the Future Appearance System. What is a NINA date?
NINA stands for “Note of Issue / No Appearance.” It is a court control date used to monitor and determine if a Note of Issue has been filed by the actual due date. The NINA date does not extend the time to file the Note of Issue. If the Note of Issue is not filed by the actual due date and a motion or stipulation to extend the time to file is not submitted, the case will be dismissed. No appearance is required on the NINA date. For example, if the Note of Issue is due to be filed on March 9 and the NINA date is March 24, the Note of Issue must be filed by March 9. Otherwise, the case will be dismissed on March 24.
