The maximum time under the CPLR is 120 days absent good cause shown. However, this time period may be shorter depending on any particular Judge's rules. For instance, in Kings County, Supreme Court the general rule for personal injury actions is 60 days except in cases where the City of New York is represented by Corporation Counsel.
